Hi Jan,

The BUG() is at rmqueue(), "if (PageLRU(page)) BUG".

The same BUG has been seen before. The BUG means an LRU page was found in a zone's free list
(this is not a valid thing to happen).

This could be either a driver bug (which uses a page after freeing it, as wli smartly pointed
out at the time) or faulty hardware, as it showed to be in that occasion.

What drivers are you using and, just as matter of "safety", have you ran 
memtest on this box?
