You can't just move the call to ext2fs_close().  You also need to move

	if (!quiet)
		printf(_("Writing superblocks and "
		       "filesystem accounting information: "));

before the call to ext2fs_close() since this is used to print the
message for the progress information that will be emitted by
ext2fs_close(), and you also have to move the error checking:

  	if (retval) {
  		fprintf(stderr,
  			_("\nWarning, had trouble writing out superblocks."));
	...

after the call to ext2fs_close().


This would have been ***painfully*** obvious if you had run the
regression test suite.  ("make -j8 ; make -j8 check"), since the
inconsistent move of ext2fs_close() without the preceeding printf
would cause all of the mke2fs tests (the m_* tests) to fail.

This is why regression test suites are so important.  :-)
