[ oops in slab allocation for bh_cachep ]

This looks like random memory corruption - someone wrote somewhere
where they shouldn't have.

For a while we were seeing a lot of these.  Around 2.4.14 to 2.4.17.
I have twenty or thirty different reports saved away.

But they seem to have stopped.  It's beginning to look like whatever
it was got fixed somehow.

Possibly so, yes.  2.4.16 is suspect in this regard.
