Subject: v2.6.26-rc7: BUG task_struct: Poison overwritten

Hi,

I don't really know what to do about this. The stacktrace is utterly
uninteresting, too. Maybe you can extract some information from it?
I was running lmbench and hotplug/-unplugging CPUs, some network-
exercising code, and a grep on /sys.

I have the config and vmlinux with debugging symbols if this is needed.

Thanks.


Vegard
