Description of problem:

febootstrap uses ext2fs as a library to build ext2 filesystems.
Since the latest version in Fedora, febootstrap now segfaults
when calling ext2_mkdir.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

e2fsprogs-1.42.2-3.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:

febootstrap-supermin-helper --verbose -f ext2 /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d x86_64 /tmp/kernel /tmp/initrd /tmp/root
  
Actual results:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
