Yes, the combination 2.4 / reiserfs / exim has worked fine for years.

Perhaps, one just doesn't expect these things to change with a kernel
upgrade. :)

That sounds like a good solution. Especially since I found on Google:
http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2001-47/1179.html
"Some manpages say "Fields that are undefined for a particular file
system are set to -1" (e.g. NetBSD1.4.3A from May24,1995), other say
"Fields that are undefined for a particular file system are set to 0"
(latest man pages from LDP)"
So this IS an incompatibility :(
