[BUG] "held lock freed!" on 2.6.18-rc4-gc4e321b8, not reproducible

[Markus Dahms <dahms@fh-brandenburg.de>]

Hello,

I got the following bug on 2.6.18-rc4+ after booting but could not
reproduce it. So it may be a race condition or just a hardware bug.

GIT c4e321b85a89d7cd392d3105b2c033a6c58ed337 from .../gregkh/linux-2.6
Hardware: AMD K7 1.8GHz, VIA chipset, PATA... - some time old

Except the bug message the machine runs normally..

Markus
