Can anyone tell me the meaning of this error and if I should panic?

I have been receiving the following error message lately on a few of my
Linux SMP systems and am curious as to what it means and whether I should
be worried about it.

Mar 17 14:06:35 dc7 kernel: EXT2-fs error (device 08:05): ext2_find_entry:
directory #335873 contains a hole at offset 28672

I did a search on Deja News and found that the source line that generates
this error has been #if 0'd out in a patch against 2.1 from Theodore Ts'o
to Linus.

Any help provided would be appreciated. Here is some info about my setup.

Linux 2.0.33
libc 5.3.12
Dual PII 300 MHz
256 Meg RAM
Seagate Barracuda 4 gig Drives
Buslogic 958 SCSI controller

Thanks in advance for any help.

Tom
