Pff, not like I have the time, but it also looks pretty trivial.

secondary_sb_wack() only conditionally checks & zeroes unused space;
making it unconditional is probably all it takes.

I think it also needs to _not_ zero sb_bad_features2 as it does
today, because that is supposed to be kept in sync w/ sb_features2.

I have a patch I'll test; it'd be great to get a metadump from Michael
to test it on his original failure case.
