Re: status of grub reiser4 support ?

Building succeded, this is what I have:

Unfortunately, grub under linux will encounter a segmentation as soon as 
I try to read a file on a reiser4 partition:
grub> cat (hd1,<TAB>
 Possible partitions are:
   Partition num: 0,  Filesystem type is reiser4, partition type 0xc
   Partition num: 1,  Filesystem type is reiserfs, partition type 0x83
   Partition num: 2,  Filesystem type is reiser4, partition type 0x83


grub> cat (hd1,2)/<TAB>zsh: segmentation fault  grub

Booting directly grub from the bios, reiser4 partitions are marked as 
unknown (but I bet this is probably a stage 1/1.5/2 problem from my part)...
