    Hi'all,

    Well, subject says it all... When I try to compile mozilla (CVS version) with
    the '--enable-elf-dynstr-gc' option, the compile fails with a segfault:

    ../../dist/bin/elf-dynstr-gc ../../dist/lib/components/libsample.so
    make[2]: *** [install] Segmentation fault (core dumped)

    compiling the same codebase on an ext2 filesystem does not produce this
    segfault. When I compare the produced library (libsample.so), there is a
    consistent difference between the one compile on the reiserfs and the ext2
    filesystem. Running objdump on the reiserfs-compiled library also produces
    errors (some assertion failures, a lot of 'invalid string offset' errors, and
    finally a 'Memory exhausted' error), while objdump happily disassebles the
    ext-produced binary.

    These problems occur on:

     2.4.1
     2.4.2-pre4
     2.4.2-pre4 with Chris Mason's 'reiserfs fix for null bytes in small files'

    So, there's something quite wrong here.

    If anyone wants me to try something, do tell...

    Cheers//Frank
