ext3 corruption

[Alec Smith]

Hello,

Over the last month or so, I've noticed the following error showing up
repeatedly in my system logs under kernel 2.4.18-ac3 and more recently
under 2.4.19-rc1:

EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,3)) in ext3_new_inode: error 28

I've now been able to capture the following Oops before the system went
down entirely:

Assertion failure in do_get_write_access() at transaction.c:611:
"!(((jh2bh(jh))->b_state & (1UL << BH_Lock)) != 0)"

Any help or patches would be greatly appreciated. I'd be glad to provide
more information if needed.
