SubjectRe: [reiserfs-list] major security bug in reiserfs (may affect SuSE Linux)

Can you please calm down ? Just because you maybe found ONE bug you cannot
say that there are more issues except this one without even knowing them!

If it helps, I'm using 2.2.18+reiserfs-3.5.29+ide-dma patch and I cannot
reproduce ANYTHING said in the referred message. It works perfectly fine.
I was using gcc 2.95.2 to compile the kernel.
