Filesystem: ext2
Architecture: i386
CPU: AMD K6-II

Christopher Cole mentioned that he saw this problem, but it went away
after a reboot. I rebooted into 2.4.5 again and the problem seemed to
have gone away.

But now, I got something else.... something that looks like a kernel
Ooops. I was running automake and got the following:
kernel BUG at inode.c:486!
invalid operand: 0000
CPU: 0
EIP: 0010:[<c013fa2b>]
EFLAGS: 00010286

...

I'm gonna try 2.4.4 for now. But if anyone is interested in looking
into this deeper, I can send the whole "oops" message and whatever other
info needed to debug this.
