Thanks, Zwane.
I've never seen this. I assume the box is SMP since you are hitting a BUG in the spin_unlock code? I almost want to think this is an SMP bug (locking rules not being observed somewhere) and preemption is just accelerating the race.
Ohh wait - this is 2.5.6-pre3 ?
Can you try 2.5.6 final (or anything later)? There is a bug with SMP and preempt and this could be it. Let me know..
