Amazing - you dont see those very often.

The crash happens in the journaling code of the ext3 filesystem.
Supposedly, this is with the original kernel shipped with your
Red Hat 7.2? I cannot even remember what this was - and Red Hat
only has updates available for their enterprise releases now.

It's interesting that hobbitd_rrd can trigger it, but it's really
a kernel bug. And I'm pretty sure any Linux kernel developer would
start out with "get an updated kernel installed" before bothering
to look at it.
