Lenz, I need your insight here.  I am having problems running Corel
WordPerfect Office 2000 on my laptop (the applications crash upon
launching them) but no problem at all on my desktop machine.  Now the
kick is that the laptop uses Reiserfs while the desktop is still ext2. 
Tonight I met One of Corel's senior developers, Gavriel State, in the
Corel Linux Roadshow 2000, an he suspects that there might be my
problem.  According to Gavriel, they use memory mapping extensively to
launch their WPO2K applications and if Reiserfs has some incompatibility
in this area it might cause my problems.  Do you know if there is any
problem with Reiserfs' memory mapping? BTW, I have no clue as to what
memory mapping means.

Thanks,
Avi
