Ok. In the System.map, I find this:
...
00123e98 T reset_dquot_ptrs
00123ef8 T __wait_on_buffer
00123fb0 t sync_buffers
00124150 T sync_dev
...
So is __wait_on_buffer to blame? It seems strange that the bug should
trigger at the moment someone logged on via ISDN...

Cc'ed to the kernel-list as well.
