Also, FYI, I kept the server running with smartctl periodically invoked, 
and it was still triggering BUGs, however, I consider them to be more or 
less harmless until the server got stuck with high I/O wait this morning 
after next smartctl invocation. So, it isn't harmless, it seems…

It could be unrelated, of course, since the journal didn't give me any 
hint (or a stack trace) on what happened, thus I'll monitor how things 
behave without smartctl too.
