Thanks very much for this reference - I will backport this patch

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=130424

to our U3-based kernel that is currently in production.

Best regards,

Jim

This looks similar to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=158363
. this seems reproductible without lustre patches (although less easily)
. this has been discussed and corrected upstream (2.6.18 or 19).
. this may have been fixed with recent RHEL4U4 kernels (2.6.9.42.0.3.EL)

I just retested it with 2.6.12+relevant patches/lustre 1.4.6.1 (IA64)
and I do not observe it anymore with more than 1000 iterations.
(previously observed with 2.6.12/1.4.6beta with ~5-10 iterations).
