The s390 guys actually found the bug, any 64 bit platform should hit it,
unless they somehow find a way to store 6800 bytes in a 4k buffer.  The
LTP suite triggers it very reliably, more people are running that now so
the reports went up in frequency.

I won't even guess how alphas and ia64s managed to work as long as they
did (it gets caught by a debugging check before corrupting anything,
thank you Vladimir).

Mount -o usrquota,grpquota?  SuSE started putting in the quota stuff for
reiserfs around 2.4.12.
