kernel BUG at kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c:1389!

[E Robertson]

Hi, I've recently migrated some code to 2.6.31 on a sam9263 board and
notice this on
several occasions. I thought it might be a serial driver port issue
since I haven't seen anyone with
this problem before, but  that doesn't seem to be the culprit.
Is this is known kernel bug?
