FWIW, I tested the patch with a 32K cluster size, which according to Microsoft
is the maximum default cluster size for fat32:

   Partition size           Cluster size
   -------------------------------------
   512 MB to 8,191 MB          4 KB
   8,192 MB to 16,383 MB       8 KB
   16,384 MB to 32,767 MB     16 KB
   Larger than 32,768 MB      32 KB

(Of course FAT16 accepts bigger values).

I am able to run fsck on the filesystem before and after the patch, however,
the filesystem is OK so fsck is actually doing nothing on both cases.
