max directory depth in 2.2.15? Bug?

  Is there a max dir depth in 2.2.15? I always though it is limited to
  1024 but that doesn't seem to be true.

  I created some directories with the following command.

  i=10000; while mkdir $i; do cd $i; echo $i; i=`expr 1 + $i`; done

  It proceeded up to about 178xx. Then I got a permission denied error
  (as root). I restarted the command and got about 10 new directories.
  Then again, I got a permission denied.

  Additionally, I got some syslog. Very much " grow_inodes: inode-max
  limit reached". I deleted some of them. In the end other programms
  get problems like squid (see syslog) and even ls didn't work
  sometimes (permission denied). (Sometimes means, I rapidly unmounted
  the test partition because I didn't wanne harm the system.

  Is that the normal behaviour or is it a bug?

  Sven
