Hi!
I've been watching this issue since I'm experiencing rtorrent corruption 
since 2.6.19.

Details: i386, UP, no preempt:
kungen:/proc# zgrep PREEMPT config.gz
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set
kungen:/proc# uname -a
Linux kungen.fatbob.nu 2.6.19.1 #3 Thu Dec 21 13:18:06 CET 2006 i686 
GNU/Linux

Corruption is still present with the patch below (patched against 
2.6.19.1 and removed task_io_account_cancelled_write call)
