Those block pointers had better be someplace or anyone trying to read/write
the file is gonna' be in _BIG_ trouble.  There is still the inode table,
you if you _really_ want to, you can open /dev/kmem and go looking for
the inode there.  Bmap() still needs the 13 inode (last time I looked :-))
addresses - and the *-indirect blocks still have to have their addresses.
