reproducable hangup with 2.4.3-ac14, when swap is on a fs

Hi! if the kernel writes swaps out something to a swapfile, which is on a filesystem the kernel hangs up. (the Oops is below) I tried it with kernel 2.4.3-ac14 and 2.4.3-ac10, and it works perfectly with 2.4.3-ac10. the filesystem type does not matter, at least it hangs with ext2, and reiserfs.
