Hi, 
I had similar problem. It was related to corruption of tdb. 
It was observed on 2.4.17+XFS on XFS partition. If tdbs were on ext2
partition, everything was fine.
It was caused by a bug in XFS code.
So, if you have tdb files on ReiserFS I would move them on ext2
partition and check if it helps.
