OK, I did the following:

	patch kernel

	install patched kernel

	umount filesystem

	reiserfsck 3.6.5-pre1 --fix-fixable the filesystem

	forgot to note the last few things reiserfsck said

	reboot machine

	verify that patched kernel is running

	wait a few days

	read "unlink: Permission denied" in logs

I'm wondering if I'm still seeing the bug, or just the lingering
after-effects of the bug that might still be hiding in the filesystem.

Is fix-fixable able to correct link counts?  If not, presumably I need
to do a full rebuild-tree in order to correct any incorrect link counts
that may still be present on the filesystem?
