The only change since v16:
Fix for Microsoft idiocy wrt so-called FAT32. Actually it's FAT28.
In other words, upper 4 bits of FAT entry are "reserved and undefined".
I.e. contain random garbage. Fix: in fat_access() &=0xfffffff before any
further tests.
If you've seen random "attempt to access beyond end of device" on
FAT filesystems that were OK from the Windows POV - see if this patch will
fix the situation.
Patch lives on ftp.math.psu.edu/pub/viro/fat-patch-17.gz
Cheers,
Al
