Bug is FIXED in util-linux 2.27
Ok I was able to replace the patch with an error message. I changed
the inodes per block to be more reasonable w/ large filesystems while
I was at it. I'll be sending the patch upstream as well.

I found the exact cause after reading the source code long enough. It
tried to allocate too many inodes, pushing the first zone > 65536
blocks. This fails hard due to integer roundoff.
Therefore, workaround: mkfs.minix -3 -i specifying a more
reasonable number of inodes will allow the filesyst
Update: bug is in the V3 code. Command goes through w/o using -3.
