SubjectRe: ext2 directory size bug (?)

This is actually a feature. The directory does not get truncated.

Arguably directories could be truncated when objects towards the end
are removed; I believe UFS under Solaris might do this?

An even better heuristic I like would allow repacking of a directory
and truncation if you could safely half the size -- but I suspect
locking issues might be hideous here.
