Ocfs2 users - Sep 2011 - Problem with tunefs.ocfs2, similar to fsck.ocfs2 on EL5

We are running into a problem which looks like the same we had with fsck.ocfs2 a
while back. This is with ocfs2-tools 1.4.4. I am trying to use tunefs.ocfs2 to
turn off some features. The program starts up but then starts eating all
available memory and more and the system starts to swap like crazy in and out.
This is exactly the same behavior as the fsck.ocfs2 for which we were given a
patched binary.

I tried to compile the tunefs.ocfs2 from 1.6.x but the same problem with that
binary.

As tunefs.ocfs2 wasn't working for us, I tried to mkfs.ocfs2 the volumes
again with --fs-feature-level=max-compat. This still turns on
strict-journal-super and there seems no way around this? This makes the volume
not compatible with OCFS 1.2.9
