So, since you found that a bunch of other people were having this
problem, and that none of them were able to figure it out, you're
going to go grab the source for fsck, find the offending error
message, change it, submit the patch upstream, and become the unsung
hero to hundreds that follow behind you, right?

Oh, the beauty of OSS.  :-)
