2.6.13-rc4 - kernel panic - BUG at net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:918

Hi,

I've been trying to upgrade kernel from 2.6.12.3 to 2.6.13-rc4 on a rather loaded http server, but i'm currently having a kernel panic a few minutes only after booting. The bug was reproductible (the crash happened after every reboot, with the same backtrace).

Here is the error log:
------------[ cut here ]------------
