fsck.hfsplus gives segmentation fault

$ dpkg -S fsck.hfsplus
hfsprogs: /usr/share/man/man8/fsck.hfsplus.8.gz
hfsprogs: /sbin/fsck.hfsplus

$ lsb_release -rc
Release: 8.04
Codename: hardy

It segfaults like this:

 # mount |grep sda5
 /dev/sda5 on /home type hfsplus (rw,noexec,nodev,relatime)
 # umount /dev/sda5
 # fsck.hfsplus /dev/sda5
 ** /dev/sda5
 ** Checking HFS Plus volume.
 Segmentation fault

Here is the response from Rogério Brito over at Debian:

I think it's relevant here.

I can confirm this on hardy.

The bug should be fixed on intrepid

The last -4 debian revision of the package fix this issue the diff between -1 and -4 are minimal and I think that fake syncing the -4 revision in hardy maybe a good idea

Surely you can narrow it down more than that. It'd be much better to only
make the change needed to fix the problem.

Most of the patch is related to the fix of this bug

The only other things are the lintian override, the Standards-Version and only building the needed tools instead of all, I will make a smaller page tonight if you prefere

Please. For SRU should be the minimal fix.

here a minimal debdiff against current hardy version that fix this issue

I've rejected the current upload which had the excessivly long debdiff. Waiting on ScottK to give feedback on the one in comment 11.

Ack from motu-sru. Please go ahead and upload to hardy-proposed.

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Lars, anyone else, any testing feedback? Thanks!

You're great!

It looks like fsck.hfsplus functions on Lenny-Beta2 on AMD64.

Right, but could anyone confirm that the version in hardy-proposed works now?

Ok. (My workload varies.) I now have a machine with Hardy Heron.

As far as I can tell, fsck.hfsplus works there as well. Below is my
method of testing:

$ apt-get install -t hardy-proposed hfsplus hfsutils hfsprogs
