Yes, fsck does these writes but these corruptions happen with in-memory
data, not those which are written to disk.
If you check you RAM and find no problems could you run
debugreiserfs -p /dev/xxx | bzip2 -c > xxx.bz2
and make it available for downloading. I will take it (file will contain reiserfs
metadata) and debug it locally. (At the beginning of the next week already as
I will not work these few days).
