kernel BUG at kernel/timer.c:380!

[Christian Mautner]

I have a very reproducible problem with 2.6.0-test1. 
The system is a fairly recent installation of Debian Sarge.

Linux version 2.6.0-test1 (chm@data) (gcc version 3.3.1 20030626 (Debian prerelease)) #1 Thu Jul 17 18:03:58 EDT 2003

The hardware is a VIA board. Can't tell what exactly it is, it's not
mine. I have no manual.

vendor_id       : CentaurHauls
cpu family      : 6
model           : 7
model name      : VIA Ezra
stepping        : 8
cpu MHz         : 665.148

eth0, eth1, eth2: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet (8139too.c)

I am experimenting with the ethernet bridging code. I do:

% brctl addbr br0
% brctl stp br0 off
% brctl addif br0 eth1
% brctl addif br0 eth2
% 
% ifconfig eth1 up
% ifconfig eth2 up
% ifconfig br0 up

At which point the kernel tells me:

If I do the steps mentioned above in different order, e.g. ifconfig
eth[12] up first, then it might not happen. But if I do it exactly as
said, the bug happens reliably.

The .config is available at http://66.11.173.144/tmp/config-2.6.0-test1
everything else on request.

I have exactly the same problem. Tested on several machines with 
different hardware and and configs.
The problem appears since 2.5.70. Last working version was 2.5.69.
