Hi,

This problem has been tracked to a bug in the spinlock debugging code. 
With spinlock debugging switched off, everything is fine.
I don't have time to fix it right now, but it would take about 5 seconds 
to fix.
Summary: #define SPINLOCK_MAGIC is given various different values 
throughout the kernel, so the debug if (lock->magic != SPINLOCK_MAGIC) 
tends to fail.
To Fix: define SPINLOCK_MAGIC in one place in the kernel, so all paths 
of the code use the same value.

Output from "grep -ri SPINLOCK_MAGIC *"
include/asm/spinlock.h:#define SPINLOCK_MAGIC   0xdead4ead
include/linux/spinlock.h:#define SPINLOCK_MAGIC 0x1D244B3C
include/asm-i386/spinlock.h:#define SPINLOCK_MAGIC      0xdead4ead
include/asm-parisc/spinlock.h:#define SPINLOCK_MAGIC    0x1D244B3C
