I haven't got around to looking at it yet, sorry.

It does seem like my inotify scalability patch is involved, however it is
interesting that you cannot reproduce the problem in 2.6.17.13.

I probably won't get around to having a look at it for a while, but if you
would like to speed up the process you could try running a git bisect to
find which patch is making the error trigger for you.
