Anton Blanchard sees the same on ppc64, but I dont have details.

Steps to reproduce:
'it happens' after maybe 6 hours uptime.
system is busy building packages in the background, pstree calls are part of the build process management.
There is a while loop to read from the USB cdrom ( the reason why I did boot 2.6):

screen  -S cdtest -- sh -c 'for i in `seq 0 420` `seq 0 420` ; do date; umount -v /media/cdrom ; mount -v /media/cdrom ; find /media/cdrom -type f -print0 | xargs -0 --verbose -n1 cat > /dev/null || break ; done &>log'
