kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:631!

Hi,

I was printing on the parallel port and suddenly the "parallel" CUPS backend
went 50% CPU (obviously endless-looping), while the other 50% were eaten by
ghostscript (strace didn't show anything, so this might be an "internal"
loop). When I eventually killed the latter, I got this:

Eeek! page_mapcount(page) went negative! (-1)
page pfn = 3
page->flags = 80014
page->count = 0
page->mapping = 00000000
vma->vm_ops = _stext+0x3feff000/0x14

Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!

Apparently this happened to me in the near past, but I didn't have any
netconsole facility enabled at that time to capture the message.

Anybody has any idea where this might have come from?
