This looks like it might be related to the -as far as I recall- 
unfixed issue we've noticed some time ago: 
http://osdir.com/ml/file-systems/2004-02/msg00033.html

I have'nt heard any reports  of a reproduction on modern kernels on 
390 lately, our issue seems to have disappeared.

so long,
Carsten
