Under which circumstances does this oops occur?  What userspace actions?

See, curious minds want to know whether this patch is needed in 2.6.33,
2.6.32, 2.6.31.x, 2.6.30,x, etc, etc.  Often we rely upon the
originator to provide us with enough information to make that decision.
You didn't do this.  Please always do so.
