ah, yes. I did this 22 hours ago:

| commit ea52f4ea5666ffed175ec41efac52b560818563d
| Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
| Date: Fri Dec 19 02:09:20 2008 +0100
|
| Revert "sched: fix uneven per-cpu task_group share distribution"
|
| This reverts commit 6eed5aaacae0ced9a43a923633befd2c695d6620.
|
| Causes crashes.

So should be fixed in the next linux-next iteration.

Ingo
