shit, I thought testing over an hour (10mins your program, umount, fsck -fD 
test.img in a loop) is enough but it isn't. Damn f*ck :(

root@codeman:[/] # fsck -fD test.img

Heh, I wonder why it happens faster here. I usually don't umount, and my 
loopback filesystem is small enough that everything fits in RAM. Maybe my 
Athlon XP 1800+ contributes to my computer's raw filesystem corruption power? 
;)
