http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git&a=commitdiff&h=71a8c87fb300b601eacf7a86cc6c6322fe827bfd

fixed a longstanding in-memory extent corruption, but that's my only
guess at this point. As Michael said, 2.6.18 is getting very old, and
unless you have a vendor supporting it (in which case you should
probably ask them...) you will probably have trouble getting help with
problems in it, I'm afraid, because it is several years old.

(however, if this is mission critical we could point you to people who
can do contract work to help)
