Kernel mm/rmap.c oops in 2.6.11.3

[Max Kamenetsky]

I've been seeing the following bug lately when running some memory- and
CPU-intensive MATLAB jobs.  MATLAB hangs, and commands like ps and top
no longer work.  The only solution I've found is to reboot.  This
happens intermittently, and here's what gets written to /var/log/syslog:

I haven't tried 2.6.11.4 yet, but based on what I see in the changelog,
nothing related to the above seems to have been changed.

Thanks,
     Max

P.S.  Please cc me on replies as I don't usually read the mailing list.
