That looks like the bug that was supposed to be fixed by commit
44387e9ff25267c78a99229aca55ed750e9174c7, which is in 2.6.25-rc7 and
later.  

What was the SHA1 ID of the head commit for the kernel source that
gave you this oops?  Did you have any other patches besides the one I
sent you applied?

Paul.
