This one is very difficult to verify. It happened exactly once in
 now 20 days... I'll be away from the box until the weekend,
 when I'll compile whatever kernel-of-the-day with Ilpo's fix
 on top, if it isn't in mainline by then, and... well, keep the
 torrents alive with an eye on the kernel logs.

Not sure what's the best thing to do with such a hard to
 reproduce issue. Perhaps marking it fixed by Ilpo's patch,
 and if it pops up again file a new bug linking it to the entry
 in bugzilla ?
