I'm totally on reiserFS and have never experienced this problem except with Mozilla. Mozilla has also caused the same kinda problem with ext2 and ext3. My best guess is that it's a messed up file that Mozilla was trying to write as it ran wild and I had to kill it cause that's when this mess appears. It also happens with Galleon, btw. I've also had to go the route James has which is why my day to day browser is Konq now. ttfn John
