Oh, yes, I spotted that when it went by for the first time. The idea of `stitch reiserfsish blocks together' makes a lot of sense until you consider loop...

(One possible fix would be to put an fs-specific uuid in every block, but I hope anyone actually trying this realises how crazy it is and shoots themselves for the sake of our disk space.)
