Subj : FAT/dosfsck oddity

I get a message like "dosfsck currently only supports 2 allocation
tables, not 191"
I have never had such an error message before, but dosfsck seems to be
saying that for both of the FAT32 disks on this machine. both of said
drives were formatted using MS-Windoze.
I thought the FAT structure itself only supported 2 "Allocation
Tables" if so, then why the hell am i getting a message like this?
perhaps dosfsck is not reading something on the drives incorrectly?
any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated, as it seems the
crapware "Scandisk" prog that comes with Windoze isn't seeing this
problem, and is thus not doing anything to fix it.
