I was wondering why my testing didn't catch this and the reason was that my
test VM had a version of xfstests which had ext4/052 test but somehow the
'tests/ext4/group' file didn't contain that test (and a few other newer
ones) so it didn't get executed. Not sure how that broken group file got
there but anyway it's fixed now and indeed ext4/052 test crashes for me as
well.

Yes, thanks for debugging this! But I'd prefer a fix like:

		if (++level > indirect)
			return frame;
		blocks[level] = block;

because the store of the leaf block into 'blocks' array is just bogus. I'll
send V2 with both the issues fixed.
