Ext3 users - Jul 2002 - kernel BUG at commit.c:535 invalid operand

Anyone got a clue about this:

Server: DELL EdgeServer 2550 with PERC RAID card RH 7.3.

Interestingly it happen with PureFTP and then started to hang socket
connections until the box hung.. (or was it something else - maybe I have it
backwards... that's why I'm comming to you guys..)

Log entry in /var/log/messages:
