OK, following the reiserfs/compiler thread, I can see now that my bug report may have been ignored since I was using a non-kosher compiler (although I have used it since late October -99 without any problems). Or, it might not have been ignored, just nobody told me he/she wasted some time on it. Since it seems to be hardware related; that oops wasn't the only one, and after some more strange behaviour, I moved the hard drive to another, almost identical, PC, with even less memory, 16 MB (but this one I have the chips to run 48 MB, but I wanted to stress it). And it's been running for a week now, like a clock.
So, sorry for the false alarm!
