2.6.8-rc2 4K stack overflow

2.6.8-rc2 4K stack overflow

[linux]

Just a crash report.  Machine locked hard - no caps lock, no ping.

Machine mostly idle.  Amanda network backup was running, but not daily cron.

Backtrace copied by hand. (I didn't copy the leading addresses.)
FWIW, only one partition (a RAID-0 non-critical data partition) is
mounted with ext2.

.config follows.  Compiler is GCC 3.3.4 (Debian 3.3.4-3)  Hardware is
Intel Celeron, 440BX motherboard.

Hopefully it helps someone.  I don't have frame pointers enabled, so I
assume the confusing bits of the backtrace are clutter misidentified as
a return address.

It looks like you took invalid opcode exceptions in addition to some
rather suspicious oopsen in/around buffered_rmqueue(). The latter are
likely stack gunk, the former OTOH I suspect may be real.

Could you try to reproduce without CONFIG_REGPARM and turn on frame
pointers? Might help a bit to cut down on ways backtraces might get
misinterpreted.
