This is a follow-up to my report from 2001-09-01 ("Bug in ReiserFS").
I updraded to 2.4.10.
After the incident my /home filesystem was unusable, users with their
homedirs there couldn't login (login freezed).
I've got this in /var/log/messages (timestamps stripped):

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
