apparent ext3 oops

Hi,

I've been using ext3 alpha release 0.0.2c on several VA servers and
workstations, and last friday one server died on an oops

The oops said: process kupdate, EIP 0010:[<0c012ee44>]

c012eca4 t sync_old_buffers
c012ef7c T sys_bdflush
c012f044 T bdflush

There was debugging output that said:
assertion failure in sync_old_buffers() at buffer.c linue 1956:
"!bh->b_transaction", which is consistent with the EIP info.

I'm afraid I have no idea what triggered the problem, so I can't reproduce
it at will.

The following boot said:
EXT3-fs: WARNING: recovery required on readonly filesystem.
EXT3-fs: write access will be enabled during recovery.

Does the last line mean that something is botched with /dev/rd/c0d0p7 and
that indeed I need to unmount it and run e2fsck on it?
If so, I'll send you the e2fsck output.

(The partitions are on Mylex hardware raid)
