Bugs:
    1. The relocation algorithm is not stable for ext2 fs. That is
    that if you run e2defrag on a recently defragmented filesystem,
    it will rearrange some files, not improving the fragmentation
    level. You can run it more and more times, it will move some files 
    forth and back without any further improvements. 
    
    2. Picture can be broken, if the program had been suspended with ^Z and 
    resumed after that.

    3. Ncurses package does not work well with all terminfo databases.
    It requires its own version of the database.
    
    4. Endianness probably still wrong when running on some big-endian
    machines even if the filesystem has been swabbed to host-endian format
    by e2fsck.  (Bitmaps in particular may be wrong.)
    Endianness hasn't even been looked at for other than ext2fs.
