------- Comment #2 from tytso@mit.edu  2009-03-17 14:49 -------
The BUG is caused by the following in journal_stop() in transaction.c:

        J_ASSERT(journal_current_handle() == handle);

Somehow the journal handle got corrupted, or we screwed up in the refcount of
open handles and allowed a journal transaction to commit even though
ext3_mkdir() and ext3_creat() was in the middle of doing something with a
handle.  This is one of these should-never-happen situations.

What was the system doing at the time of the crash?  And we have to wonder why
you are seeing it but apparently not others.  Is this a completely unmodified,
stock 2.6.28 kernel?   Have there been any patches applied?
