Andrew, The patch that I sent, shown at the end of this post, is incomplete as it doesn't check the return value from kzalloc(..., GFP_ATOMIC).
As I suspected this bug has been exposed before: Jens reported this problem in early January. A more complete patch, with some other changes, was posted 6 weeks ago: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=116797354920256&w=2 I'm not sure if this patch is "in the works" or not.
