Miles, could you try the patch below? (Andrew: if this solves Miles' 
problem then i think this is v2.6.18 material too. [The other 
possibility would be some permanent stack-trace entries leak, in which 
case the patch will not help. If that happens then we'll have to debug 
this some more.])

Subject: lockdep: double the number of stack-trace entries

Miles Lane reported the "BUG: MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low!" message,
which means that during normal use his system produced enough lockdep
events so that the 128-thousand entries stack-trace array got exhausted.
Double the size of the array.
