And it has turned out to be a generic vfs bug; only reiserfs checked for the
presence of a lock which made it be the only one that oopsed.

2.2 with the reiserfs patches ;-)
Seriously, I've been using reiserfs for over a year now on two systems. Both
put a *huge* stress on the fs. The only thing I have ever been bitten by was
the tail zero thing in 2.4.1 (or was that .2?)
Of course, as usual, YMMV.
