Thanks for your help with this. I wrote the program and ran it

considering the circumstances.

Eli, could you post the relevant program here so others can use it if
needed? There are requests from time to time, and it would be good if
such a program were available (like I'm sure you'd been happy if it
already existed the time you needed it).

Thanks, and wow: what an amazing filesystem can recover such an event!
