Yep, and it was not my intention to be rude either. But at the risk of
sounding a bit harsh, I'd say that comments like «this should be fixed
NOW because it ain't working» also don't help. But I certainly do
understand the frustration that many EXT4 Jaunty users must be having
wrt. this, and I think this bug is grave. I initially had all three of
my machines converted to EXT4 when upgrading to Jaunty. But after
observing this bug report for a few weeks, I quikly realised the dangers
and converted about 13 partitions on 5 disks back to EXT3 :).

My reason for replying was that Nicholas Roberts stated that he was
modifying his software to work-around Jaunty EXT4 bugs. And I think he'd
be better off leaving his software alone and going back to EXT3 and wait
a few more months for EXT4 goodness :).
