Well, if for some reason fsck is still creating the lost+found directory
wrong for some reason, this is a tool I wrote back before fsck was able
to fix it itself.  It should be run from the root of the problem
filesystem (as root).

It reads the directory one entry at a time and moves that file to a new
directory.  This avoids problems of readdir getting "lost" and returning
entries infinitely.
