Yes, you are right, the cause for this incident was faulty memory and I
don't blame reiserfs for failing due to this. But the effect was a
unrepairable filesystem and that again was a problem with the repair
tools available then. And that definetively left a bad after taste for
me.

It may be pure coincidence, but I never experienced anything equally
desastrous with any other FS (knocking on wood right now :-).
