I tried the aforementioned script just to see if that picked up anything. Lo and behold... it segfaulted in mkdir. I am beginning to suspect a subtle reiserfs (mounted with noatime and notail) bug as I am only seeing segfaults with mkdir and only under high load. There was something in /var/log/messages as well. Script, output, log and info below.
Um, what version of reiserfs are we talking about here? I recall reading recently on lkml (or maybe it was somewhere else..) reports that reiser4 has known and serious problems on non-x86 platforms, and maybe that extends to AMD64 as well....
If you are using the stable reiser3.6 (the only option available in the gentoo-sources or vanilla-sources), well, I would be very surprised if this was a bug there, because noatime and notail are very common options and it is a very popular filesystem. I would put my money on bad ram or memory timings in this case.
