Description of problem: When I cat the glocks debugfs file for a mounted GFS2 file system I hit the following panic.

I retested with the gfs2.ko from kernel-2.6.18-101.el5 and I was not able to hit the panic. Loading the gfs2.ko from kmod-gfs2-1.98-1.1.el5.abhi.12 caused the bug to come back.
Is this missing bz #456334? If so please retest with that patch applied.
Marking this a closed against the latest kernel. With the -101.el5 kernel I was not able to panic the system by simply mounting the file system and reading the glocks file.
