I've seen it before on kernels prior to 2.1, but I don't recall exactly
which.  I think I've seen 2.0 kernels do it, as well as the prior (1.2?)
version.

I think I've seen it on both slackware & debian, as well.

When I"ve seen it, "rebooot" caused the abnorrmal shutdown, in which
e2fsck was necessary, while "shutdown -r now" worked fine, as (i believe) 
the three fingered salute.  I never did figure out why, I just adjusted :)
