*Description :
Test 031 reproduces this one - it runs mkfs and then repairs
numerous different combinations of directory version and
directory size ... repair seems to get itself into trouble
without even mounting these filesystems (created using mkfs
prototype files).

To exercise this bug (use the sim mkfs/repair binaries, cos
we seem to trip an assert in libxfs-mkfs before completing):
$ cd cmd/xfs/sim
$ make

.....

==========================

Oh, should've mentioned - its not clear yet whether its mkfs thats
writing bad stuff to disk or whether its repair fixing stuff in a
bad way.

Either way, somethings broken (in both libsim & libxfs).

cheers.
