These days I try to reproduce this bug, but unfortunately I couldn't
hit it.  I create/read/write/delete some files in a SSD disk to simulate
a file system that has been used for a while.  Then I use e4defrag to
defrag this file system.  But I couldn't trigger the bug.  The kernel
version is the latest ext4/dev branch, and the e2fsprgs version is the
1.42.7.  Do you have a method to easily reproduce this bug?

Thanks,
                                                - Zheng
