dentry.d_name.name is 56 on 64-bit (my memcmp crashes)
dentry.d_hash.next is 24 (crashed at least 3 times here, rafael's one)
dentry.d_op is 136 (crash below)

It's spreading :/.

Hello

  This oops appeared in my log - unsure how it is related to my DVB-T
  tuner test before.
  But I've also seen another weird resume with some similar crash.

  Happens with 2.6.25 - commit 48a86f548fb74928f9a466f52527e83fecdb4575
