http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/14/62

was just reported today. Seems to have been caused by

commit 3ac7fe5a4aab409bd5674d0b070bce97f9d20872
Author: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>
Date:   Wed Apr 30 00:55:01 2008 -0700

    infrastructure to debug (dynamic) objects

which was introduced just after v2.6.25, but not discovered until now,
probably because it requires the (admittedly obscure) combination of
lockdep and slub/object debugging.
