bug in ext3 htree rename: doesn't delete old name, leaves ino with bad nlink

I've isolated the problem to rename not removing the old name under some
circumstances, leaving two names for a file with an nlink of 1. This
will reliably reproduce the problem for me, under 2.4.19-ac4 and 2.4.19
(stock) w/ patch-ext3-dxdir-2.4.19-4.

Generate a new filesystem: this will create htree-bug.fs
$ sh genfs

# mkdir m
# mount -o loop htree-bug.fs m

$ gcc -o tickle tickle.c
$ ./tickle m/test
*** rename("drivers/scsi/psi240i.h", "drivers/scsi/psi240i.h.orig") failure:
stating drivers/scsi/psi240i.h
  ino=294
  nlink=1
stating drivers/scsi/psi240i.h.orig
  ino=294
  nlink=1
*** rename("drivers/scsi/sun3_scsi.h", "drivers/scsi/sun3_scsi.h.orig") failure:
stating drivers/scsi/sun3_scsi.h
  ino=350
  nlink=1
stating drivers/scsi/sun3_scsi.h.orig
  ino=350
  nlink=1

# umount m

$ e2fsck -f htree-bug.fs
