A few users who have tested this on 2.4 did indeed not reproduce this problem
but got a number of log messages when creating directories with long names
that indicate bugs in the data structures.

Quite a efw people now have found ways to create directories that do not
show up in ls or find output (without any errors), but this might be a
weird bug in ls and find.

(Anyway, the precise discussion can be found on the reiserfs list)
