You might want to change the description to include that it occurred
after a suspend/resume; Hugh suspects corrupted PMD entries as the
cause of the crash, and not necessarily anything in the ext3 code.  So
the title might be a bit misleading.  (At the same time, if turns out
that the suspend/resume was a red herring, and it looks more like a
real ext3 bug, please send a note to that effect; right now I'm not
paying attention to this bug.)
