As requested, I did
e2fsck -f /dev/hdb3

It behaved as above.

I made my partitions with DOS PQMagic.  The BL2 and BL3 e2fsck always work 
correctly with them.  I tested two different partitions with similar 
results.

BL3 e2fsck was too old to work with partitions made with BL2 fdisk which 
is why I used PQMagic.  I could have used BL3 fdisk instead.

I can't use this busybox e2fsck on my partitions.  I will stick with the 
full version and add it to BL3.50 if necessary (and use 3.40 for rescue 
disks).

I found xmodmap in BL 3.50 and can try modifying my keymap so that my 
arrow keys will work.
