possible recursive locking in 2.6.30-rc6

Hi all,

i'm sometimes working with BT DUN with a Nokia 6210 Navigator.

Last weekend anything must gone wrong, so my mobile was not able to create a
ppp link with DUN this morning. After updating the driver and BT-chip firmware
of my Dell 830 laptop and several pairing attempts i was able to kick it to
work again ... :-]

And i needed to move the channel from '5' to '3' in /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
- i assume the Nokia Windows Software re-configured this in the process of
re-installing their SW when updating the Windows drivers ... don't know.

In the meantime (when the paring or anything else was broken) i discovered
this kernel message about a locking issue.

Is this a known problem?

Regards,
Oliver

ps. Please CC me as i did not subcribe the list. Tnx
