The change was made in HEAD before the 6.x branch, so it's currently in 
RELENG_6.  I fired off an e-mail to Kirk to ask about MFC'ing it to 
RELENG_5, and will do so once I hear back, assuming he thinks there is no 
reason not to.

Do you have back logs to when bgfsck was running, btw?  Normally it should 
correct this sort of thing, suggestion that bgfsck exited without 
correcting them, which is a little worrying.  You may want to boot to 
single user and fsck manually...
