kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:1695!

Not sure if this is an oops, or what. I've been getting these errors
frequently when trying to move large directories through scp. The
command that triggered this trace is:
scp -r tanis:/mnt/data/media/music .
It seems random, but not sure yet. Earlier I scp'ied another large
dir, got a similar error, and then my second try seemed to work
successfully?!? . . .

Here is the stack trace:
