I keep getting the bug at random times. My googling resulted in a bunch of
posts claiming that the problem is related to SMP systems and possibly to
uptime. But not in my case- I do not have a SMP system and I sometimes get
the bug right after bootup. SMP support is turned off, as you can see in
my config:
www.3miasto.net/~leszek/config.html
I was getting it with 2.4.17, 2.4.24, and every single 2.6.x .
( I haven't tested other 2.4.x's )

Leszek,
Can you please your problem in more detail?

sounds like broken tools trying to figure the
HZ value from /proc/interrupts and uptime ...
this tends to give exceptionally wrong values,
especially shortly after system start (small
number of timer interrupts so far)
best,
