I see a very similar crash while running rcutorture on 2.6.18-mm1 and
my rcu patchset that has rcupreempt stuff rom -rt. I don't see this
while running on 2.6.18-rc3, but then rc3 had an older version
of rcutorture. I am working on narrowing it down.

The following script reproduces the problem quickly (within
a couple of minutes) in my 4-cpu x86_64 system -

Let me know if you want more info such as config. I was compiling a
kernel when the Oops occurred. System is Athlon X2.
