[OOPS] In 2.4.17 __free_pages_ok

[Wanadoo]

Hi,

This is 2.4.17-0.18 from RedHat Rawhide on a very busy UP Intel Web server.

I have done quite a bit of search and found a thread about something
that look similar here:

I checked in 2.4.18 and 2.4.19pre3, this particular patch didn't make it in.

My question is:

- Am I hit by the same bug ? If yes, Can I go with that particular patch ?
