I just got one more non fatal Oops yesterday (see below) with
linux-image-2.6.18-3-amd64. I did not shut down the box, and I am still
running it.

It is very likely that this is the problem. It happens in exactly that
function, and it is a NULL pointer dereferencing. I am happier now,
because this means that the Oops is harmless.

If you want, I can download the sources and compile them for amd64. I
only observe the problem on this box.
Here is the Oops:
