Yep. A good further test is the GIMPS mprime95 torture test to 100% load

As ever, I'm too busy at the moment to diagnose. I'm winging it until 
later. At least ReiserFS did its stuff and nothing got scrambled (that 
I've noticed thus far).

Good guess, but no. No changes for well over a week! (/That/ long? Mmmm, 
I'm slowing up :-/ )

Cheers,
