+<P>Debugfs will ignore lines in its command files which start with a
+comment character ("#").</P>
+
+
+<H3>Fixes</H3>
+
+<P>Fixed a number of potential out of bounds memory accesses caused by
+fuzzed / malicious file systems. (Addresses Google Bug: #147849134)</P>

+<P>Fix a spurious complaint from e2fsck when a directory which previously
+had more than 32000 subdirectories has the number of subdirectories
+drops below 32000.</P>
+
+<P>Fix an ismounted check when an LVM device is renamed while the device is
+mounted.</P>

+permissions are not rwx.</P>
+
+<P>Improve e2fsck's ability to deal with file systems with very large
+number of directories, such that various data structures take more than
+2GiB of memory. Use better structure packing to improve the memory

+
+<P>Filefrag now supports very large files (with > 4 billion blocks), as

+
+<P>Fixed portability problem in libcom_err with GNU Hurd.</P>

+<P>Fixed various Debian packaging issues. (Addresses-Debian-Bug: #953926)</P>
