Same here, though I still use XFS.  It happens when I have a solid 
kernel lockup and have to do a reboot, to some of the files that were 
open at the time of the crash.  I thought in my case it was mainly 
because I have update/flush set to be infrequent to save power (machine 
is a laptop).  Supposedly reiserfs doesn't interact well with this 
requirement, which is why I haven't used it, but maybe someone has a 
different experience to report?

Anyhow, my lazy solution has been to periodically make backups of 
.GNUstepDefaults and a couple other key files.
