_llseek(0, 73728, 0xbffff450, SEEK_SET) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)

Hm, seeking on stdin instead of file? That's strange.

Sure.

Also you can just give me a shell on your box, so that I can tweak and
recompile reiserfsprogs (btw, you are not using debugreiserfs from
reiserfsprogs v3.6.5), also I need r/w access to the file containing
copy of partition data.
In order for me to be able to verify mountability of partition I need
a way to mount/umount it).
