I had the following happen last night while running while running Con's Interbench. Looking back through my log, I do see one other case where the same BUG triggered from running updatedb (2.6.12-RT-V0.7.51-31), but it didn't have all of the ext3 errors that followed this one. I really don't have any idea if this is a problem with RT or upstream.
