It happened overnight.  The screenshot
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=29562 shows that there was a lot
more logged before it.  When I saw it in the morning I assumed that the tail
was a repetition of the leading bug trace, but it seems I am mistaken.

Now that you point it out --- perhaps.  Though I haven't looked into the
mechanics of the now fixed scsi_ini_io use after free.

I am going to update to 2.6.36-rc4 today (I had reverted to 2.6.35 since the
report), and if the issue does not return after two weeks or so I will close
it as fixed, I suggest.
