Yes, upgrading to version 0.3 or above is THE solution. I have just
made a test on a 200 MB file system.
When running e2fsck on this fs, 'ps aux' shows :
USER PID %CPU %MEM SIZE RSS TT STAT START TIME COMMAND
...
root 211 15.4 5.0 712 776 p0 T 12:12 0:02 ./e2fsck -cv /dev/hdb1
...
So, it seems that e2fsck only needs around 700 KB of memory for this
fs.
