    We complained about this, and sent in a few crash dumps.  One
machine crashed 6-8 times very sporadically over a period of a few
months.  The person I spoke to asked if there was large NFS mounted
filesystems on the machine having this problem.  There was in this
case and they sent us a patched /etc/nfs.ext (I think) file, and we
haven't had a recurrence of this problem.  Not sure if this patch was
folded into the new releases.

    The error log message is not too informative in my opinion,
but that's true in general for kernel error messages.
