First time I've needed fsck.reiserfs

One of this client's machines is prone to intermittent crashes.
Yesterday I was transferring several tens of gigabytes of data from
another machine via rsync, and it went down several times during this
process.

At one point, I ended up with a file that triggered "permission denied"
errors every time I tried to do anything with it--even as root. Finally
I dismounted the filesystem and ran fsck.reiserfs (with the
--fix-fixable option) over it, which reported that the file entry
"pointed nowhere" and removed it.

Anyway, I didn't think it was possible for a reiserfs filesystem to
become corrupted like this, even if the system crashed during a write.
Does that point the finger to RAM problems as the cause of the crashes?
