A number of people are reporting this.  Al Viro said

: Yeah, the sanity check had caught another place misusing lookup_one_len().
: I'd keep the warning in place for now; I think I know how to deal with
: reiserfs side of things, but if it turns out too invasive for post-rc3,
: we can always turn the check off just for -final.  For now I'd keep the
: check in place, just to see if anything else runs into it.

It would be nice to plug this sooner rather than later please, to save
a bit of bug-reporting bandwidth.
