Jeff,

I applied your patch to my rebased fiemap-copy branch.
My first step was to run the usual

  ./bootstrap && ./configure && make && make check

"make check" failed on due to a double free in your new code:
(x86_64, Fedora 13, ext4 working directory)

To get details, I made this temporary modification:

diff --git a/tests/cp/sparse-fiemap b/tests/cp/sparse-fiemap
index b6b1103..a8643bc 100755
--- a/tests/cp/sparse-fiemap
+++ b/tests/cp/sparse-fiemap
@@ -82,7 +82,7 @@ for i in $(seq 1 2 21); do
           -e 'for (1..'$j') { sysseek (*F, $n, 1)' \
           -e '&& syswrite (*F, chr($_)x$n) or die "$!"}' > j1 || fail=1
     # sync
-    cp --sparse=always j1 j2 || fail=1
+    valgrind cp --sparse=always j1 j2 || fail=1
     # sync
     # Technically we may need the 'sync' uses above, but
     # uncommenting them makes this test take much longer.

Then I reran make check.
That showed that 4 invocations of cp failed, each with errors
like the ones below.  I'll look at the actual code once you've
fixed these bugs:
