i have seen the superblock[n-1] gets modified as superblock[n] gets
written, but superblock[n-1] stays in the cache.  i assumed this was
because the new superblock was deleted from the free list, but didn't
look into it.  "recover main" drops this info.

this is a slight annoyance, but not a bug.  if new files are put below
waddr, that's a bug.

i use ken's file server, not cwfs.
