According to Dave Lyons, the Apple programmer who helped write the
HFS FST as well as the patch for it, *the* (singular) bug that the
patch fixes only affects volumes >=96MB in size. I trust his comments
on the patch.
I have had volumes <96 (70.1MB if you care to know) blasted by
the unpatched and the patched HFS FST. My conclusion: there's more
than one bug.
