Bug in reiserfs? 2.4.3-pre6

Bug in reiserfs? 2.4.3-pre6

[David Ford]

Lately I've been having to reboot every few days due to D state
processes, always mozilla so far.  When I exit mozilla it doesn't always
cleanly shutdown, sometimes processes are left behind.  I'll post what I
have and if I'm lucky I'll follow up with a backtrace on the pids.  Last
time I tried a sysrq-t, it killed X from under me.

# ps aux|grep mozi
david     6530  0.3  7.1 33444 18180 ?       D    11:34   0:00

# ps -eo pid,args,wchan|grep moz
