Hmm.... there's a strnage fsnotify_clear_marks_by_inode() on the stack
trace which doesn't seem to make any sense and which I can't place.
Are you using the fsnotify feature for some reason (i.e., some
new-fangled proprietnary "linux anti-virus" package or some such?).
If so, does the problem go away if you stop using said package and not
use the fsnotify interface?

Also, do you have to do anything special to trigger it?  Is the "rm"
in the process handle an "rm -rf", or some such?
