Reiser4 oops with 2.6.13-rc6-mm2

[Ronald Moesbergen <ronald.moesbergen@gmail.com>]

Hi,

While running a vmware virtual machine from a reiser4 filesystem, my
machine consistently locks up and produces the following OOPS:

kernel:  <3>BUG: vmware-vmx[11869] exited with nonzero preempt_count 1!

If I move the virtual harddisk images to another partition that
doesn't use reiser4, it runs fine and there are no problems. I suspect
this is a bug in reiser4. Could you assist me in solving this problem?
I'm running kernel 2.6.13-rc6-mm2, but I've also tried 2.6.12 with the
reiser4 patches from your ftp site, with the same effect. Vmware
any-any-93 patches are applied. If you need any more info, please ask.

Thanks,
Ronald.
