Reiser4 corruption with 2.6.12.1

Reiser4 corruption with 2.6.12.1

[Pat Double]

This may be an unsupported setup, but I am experiencing reproducable errors 
with reiser4 on 2.6.12.1. I used the 2.6.12-rc5-mm2 patch set (broken.out.2) 
against a vanilla 2.6.12.1 kernel. I did not get any patch failures but a few 
offsets. I get errors whenever I add or remove a file in the root directory. 
Inside other directories seems to be fine according to fsck.

It is easy to reproduce:

1. mkfs.reiser4 -y /dev/ram1
2. mount -t reiser4 /dev/ram1 /mnt
3. cp <some file> /mnt
4. umount /mnt
5. fsck.reiser4 -y /dev/ram1

Running with --build-fs will fix the problem. If I create a directory, fix it 
with fsck --build-fs, then copy files into the directory I do not get errors.

I'm expecting to hear I should wait for the 2.6.12.1 patches or use the -mm 
kernel, but checking nonetheless.

Thanks.
