ext4: Thanks. I'll see if I can add this to my tests. Is it only ext4,
or ext3 as well? And does anyone actually care about wubildr.mbr being
able to read data from an ext[234] filesystem? I suspect that the
easiest fix may be to disable ext[234] support in wubildr.mbr
altogether.

(While I do want to replace grub4dos with grub2 ntldr-img, this is too
invasive for a change to lucid/maverick, so I'll need to figure out a
small patch to grub4dos for this anyway.)

Hibernation: That's useful information, thanks; I wasn't aware of that
behaviour of the boot manager.
