Let's put this a bit more strongly.  2.4.3 should never have shipped to 
users.  It particularly has a ridiculously easy to hit bug in VFS that 
affected reiserfs that would have been found if there was a policy of 
test before shipping VFS changes.  No one should be using it, and it is 
definitely worth your time to upgrade.

We also have some not so easy but still possible to hit bugs in reiserfs 
up until 2.4.18.  I suggest 2.4.19/18 which is known to be rock stable 
for us.  

2.4.20-pre2 has some substantial performance improvements, but is more 
risky as it has not been as well tested.
