Control-C under High I/O Crashes Box, 2.6.16.20 or 2.6.17

This is very rare, but when it happens it is very irritating.

It has happened on an old Dell Optiplex GX110 (1.0GHZ) and a new 3.4GHZ box with a Promise/Maxtor ATA/133 PCI controller.

When more than 1 heavy I/O (cp/mv/etc) process is running and you hit control-c on one of the heavy processes, the box locks up and this appears in the logs:

Just thought I'd mention it, maybe other people have also experienced this as well.
