Problem: block on freelist isn't free

Hello!

We have a server that goes down once every couple of weeks with an error
messages:

Problem: Block on freelist xxxxxxxx isn't free.

We are running the stock 2.0.36 kernel from RedHat 5.2. The server has
128MB of RAM. The CPU is an AMD K6-2/300. It has a DEC Tulip 21140
based network card. The server runs apache, radius, logins (telnet) and
mail.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to track the problem down? Is there a
fix? I've searched the kernel mailing lists and this problem is discussed
but I can't find any answers.
