Yes, the assert in rpc_delete_timer() occurs just before
the cascade list corruption.  This is consistent with
what I have seen.  ie: the timer in a released rpc_task
is still active.

BTW, the patch from Oleg is relative to 2.6.12 and didn't
look to apply to the 2.6.11-derived base with which I'm
working (the RPC_IS_QUEUED() test at the head of rpc_delete_timer()
does not exist).  In any case the relocation of restarted: in
__rpc_execute() did not influence the failure.  I'd like to
move to a 2.6.12-based -RT patch however I'm dealing with
"code in the pipe" and unfortunately don't have that option.

Sorry I'm just responding new.  We're in the middle of a
long holiday weekend.  I will have more time come tomorrow
to analyze this further.
