That's perfect timing,
thanks a lot, Edward,
I just wanted to ask, what the current status for reiser4 is :)

The mentioned hanging with bash-scripts is gone with
2.6.24-vanilla/gentoo-sources + 2.6.24-rc8-mm1-based reiser4-patch +
your additional patch, it should be the same with official / your
2.6.24-patch

However, I still run into them from time to time with zen-sources:
http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/zen-sources.git ,
perhaps due to it's aggressive / tweaked nature,

that's the only little "problem" right now, reiser4 is perfectly
stable & pretty fast: it e.g. cuts down compile time for
openoffice-2.3.1 by about 15-20 minutes with cypcompress + lzo1
(noatime,nodiratime) compared to reiserfs
(noatime,nodiratime,data=writeback,commit=120)

reiserfs: around 2 hours
reiser4 + cryptcompress w. lzo1: 1 hour 40 minutes

kde4 is simply a pleasure with it :)

i've attached the test-scripts (usually intended for some tweaking /
power-saving tests), perhaps you're able to reproduce the "hang":
- when executing full.sh & no problems, it should exit (vanilla-kernel behavior)
- when executing & the mentioned behavior it should sit there &
executing the file & not exiting, finishing it;
everytime it seems to halt / hang at another position

Regards,
Mat
