Hi there

Some time ago I reported a problem with badblocks. I am now on 1.5.9 and
the problem is still there. The two functions blk_ok() and set_bit() will
access the first inode bit-map block even if a later one is needed. The
bit offset is converted into a block number and a block offset (see lines
429/430) but later the block number is not used again. The lseek() is done
to the first block in all cases.
