Did you get a backtrace of the offending process(es) with SysRq-T?

I suspected it might be because we're calling cond_resched() when one of
our callers has already set current->state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. But
I've had a report that it still happens in the current CVS code, in
which that definitely shouldn't be the case. Can you confirm that?
