Ok, plase run it under strace, kind of like this:
"strace -o /tmp/out debugreiserfs -p /dev/hdb1 >/dev/null" and
send me this /tmp/out file.

Hmm, I also wonder what happens if you dd the whole partition (/dev/hdb1) to
some file and then run debugreiserfs on that file will it succeed?
If not, then probably you can compress the file and somehow make it available for
download?
If it will succeed, then there is certainly some interaction between harware and
debugreiserfs is going on.
