What version of LILO are you using? Versions >= 21.6 _should_ automatically
do tail unpacking for mapped files via ioctl, but maybe it is not well tested.
Even so, it should NOT be possible to cause it to oops with bad data to the
ioctl, if this is the case. I've CC'd reiserfs-list on this as well.

Cheers, Andreas
