Thank you for this report. We've had a few other reports similar to this oops (eg the same backtrace) and fixed it recently. Could you please download the 2.4.18-0.16 or later kernel from rawhide (ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide) and use that? it should have this fixed.
I reran the dump.static job manually, and it completed ok. kernel-2.4.18-0.16 The updatedb was not the problem, since it ran every night for 6 days ok before chrashing. It also ran ok with the new kernel.
