Description Le Tanou Jerome 2001-04-02 18:14:23 UTC
On a Dell PowerEdge 300 (Bi-PIII 800 - 1024Mo - AHA39160 - 220Go) which 
act as a samba server for 500 users we've got these message on console :

--
wait_on_bh, CPU 0:
irq:  0 [0 0]
bh:   1 [0 1]
<[c010af45]> <[c015b2a4]> <[c015b90e]> <[c01699ac]> <[c0162734]>
--

How can we fix it ?

Reproducible: Didn't try because we're in production mode.
