Subject: [2.6.26-rc5-git2] WARNING: at kernel/lockdep.c:2658 check_flags+0x4c/0x128()

Recently upgraded my FC6 desktop to Fedora 9; with the
 latest nautilus RPM updates my VNC session went nuts
 with nautilus pegging the CPU for everything that breathed.

I now reverted to an earlier nautilus package, but during
 the peak CPU period my kernel spat this:

I didn't seem to find it with some googling, so here it is.

I was incidentally ltracing that process to try and find out
 what was gulping down that much CPU (sorry, no idea
 whether ltrace and the WARNING happened at the same
 time or which came first) and:

Ouch. And another ltrace several seconds later:

Yikes ! Enough. After that, the unavoidable downgrade...

[root@...key ~]# rpm -Uvh --oldpackage /tmp/nautilus-2.22.2-7.fc9.i386.rpm

And stuff is back to decent - Xvnc under Fedora 9 is clearly
 slower than the same under Fedora 8, but the above
 nautilus behavior was rendering it unusable.

Box is my trusty noname K7-800, 512MB RAM; if there's
 anything else useful I might be able to provide, just ask.

Thanks,
