Hi,

My system: Linux hobbes 2.4.4-64GB-SMP #1 SMP
(SuSE Distribution 7.2)

The following c program locks up in kernel mode and a
reboot is required to access the directory /tmp/b again:

$ mkdir -p /tmp/b/a

--------------------
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void) {
   int ret;

   ret =3D rename("/tmp/b/a","/tmp/b");   /* <--- locks up here */

   printf("Return Code: %d\n",ret);
   perror("main");
   return 0
}
--------------------

The partition is reiserfs, created with 3.5 and running with the
-o conv option to enable 32Bit uids.

I have not found any references to this problem on the mailing list,
is this a known bug? Possibly fixed in current versions?

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Greetings

Matthias Lange
