BUG_ON() and friends are still broken (at least on x86)

the following 'patch':

--- ./init/main.c.orig  Thu Feb 17 19:25:21 2005
+++ ./init/main.c       Sun Feb 27 05:13:45 2005
@@ -684,6 +684,8 @@ static int init(void * unused)
         * trying to recover a really broken machine.
         */

+	BUG_ON(0==0);
+
        if (execute_command)
                run_init_process(execute_command);


results in this oops:
(look at the filename and linenumber ;)

Freeing unused kernel memory: 244k freed
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at <bad filename>:9377!
