Maybe fsck is failing to clean your filesystem or something ?  A boot 
-s followed by a successful fsck should get rid of them.

I was seeing them at Usenix and mentioned it to Kirk.  He explained 
their nature -- ie, you've just got some blocks and inodes marked in 
use that shouldn't be.

Or maybe these numbers are the only thing corrupt about your fs.... 
so they're not being re-written after fsck finishes ???
