    A recent panic left my FS with some serious corruption, which fsck is
    unable to repair:

    # fsck_ufs -b 376512 -fy /var
    Alternate super block location: 376512
    ** /dev/twed0s1e
    ** Last Mounted on
    ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
    fsck_ufs: cannot alloc 3166749884 bytes for inoinfo

    (same holds for any superblock I've tried).

    How can I recover from this, short of running newfs?
