\ Uwe Debacher: Confirmed name clashes in the base directory of any reiserfs mount with SuSE kernel 2.6.5+.

Seems to be a hashing problem in inode allocation procedure.
I'm currently not subscribed at the reiserfs-list, so I send it this way, but
as far as I know reiser makes extensive use of hashing. Due to the similar
spelling of the filenames I think these will generate the same hash value,
and all FS-operations relies on these hashes.
Maybe this will help to fix this bug in less time.
