kernel panic with ext3-0.0.5e.

hi.  i'm using 2.2.18 with ext3-0.0.5e on a dual p3-550 with 1.5 gigs of
ram.  the system is redhat 6.2-based but with lots of modifications and a
clean kernel build.

i've been using 2.2.18 and 2.2.17 with ext3 patches on other machines with
much success and no problems, up until last night, when the machine
mentioned above kernel panicked on me.

unfortunately i don't have much of the info.  the console was completely
locked and all i could do was cycle power, but the oops message on the
screen was in a jfs_something() call within the kupdate process.

this machine is often under considerable load and memory use, altho
probably not too much disk activity.

i'm just wondering if any errors along these lines have been reported / if
this is a known issue at all, or if i've stumbled across something unique
to my setup or a potential unknown bug.

the system has a / ext3 with journal partition, a small ext2 /boot
partition, and 2 swap partitions, and that's it.  if that makes any
difference.

any info would be appreciated.
