From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040809 Description of problem: Taking a 98176-blocks long ext3 filesystem formatted to hold the /boot device of an FC3-re0915.1 install, after a clean fsck, and attempting to resize it to 50M, causes glibc to print a double-free error message and abort the resize. The filesystem may be corrupted after this, but fsck can easily fix it. No file corruption was detected. Growing the filesystem to the original size produces the same problem. I've experienced this with the old /boot filesystem of an FC2 install as well, so I don't think it's extremely sensitive to filesystem contents. I haven't had the guts to try it on bigger filesystems.

Fixed in rawhide in rpm e2fsprogs-1.35-10 or newer.
Confirmed fixed, thanks.
