This is where kernel debuggers and crash dumps come in handy.  It's
likely that you hit a deadlock of some kind.  

Since your oopses below show a panic in Reiserfs, I would suggest
writing a bug report and sending it to their mailing list.  Note in the
bug report where they can get the test programs you are using.
