Hi,
I had an interesting crash on my 2.6.16-mm1 machine earlier today.
I usually mount /usr/local readonly:
/dev/sda6 on /usr/local type reiser4 (ro)
However, since I wanted to update a sw package, I remounted it r/w.
The installation of the sw package failed with reiser4 errors.
Sorry, I don't have a dmesg output at this point, I'll send that
tonight when I'm back at the machine.
But anyway, it reported index errors, and suggested running fsck.
I then ran an fsck.reiser4 --build-fs, which finished without
reporting errors.
In further tests, I mounted /usr/local rw from the start, and saw
the installation fail again. After that, /usr/local/lib was no
longer accessible.
To me, this looks like corruption of some in-memory data structures.
Have you run a memtest lately?

Sorry to not be of more help wrt dmesg output. But I was hoping
this is already known somewhere...
