I do recall reading something a few years ago about Reiser getting in 
trouble for executing an illegal command.  As I recall it was kill -9 wife.

I may give it a try one of these days.  I do have the free disk space 
available so I could resize an existing partition to create a 500MB or 
so reiser4 partition.  When I do, I'll put stuff on it that I have a 
copy of elsewhere.  That will give me something to do one evening this week.
