Problem with 2.0.27 + noatime patch

I have a news server that I am running RedHat 4.0, INN 1.4unoff4, and
Linux 2.0.27 + the noatime patch on. Yesterday, I got the following,
and the machine keeled over and I had to hard reset it. I had been
running 2.0.24 + noatime (and RedHat 3.0.3) just fine for a while, but I
upgraded to RedHat 4.0 to keep up with the security fixes from RedHat
easier.

The eip in the "wait_queue is bad" lines is unlock_buffer (00124404).

Also, how am I supposed to run 'ksymoops' on this output? The klogd
that comes with RedHat 4.0 translates the EIPs automatically, but the
Code line does not get decoded (or is that not as necessary?)?
