Kernel error with 2.4.23 and ext3

I am running the latest version of Sentinix. It is basically a stripped down version of Slackware. I recently upgraded the kernel to 2.4.23 (1 week ago) and things have been fine until this morning. I noticed this message on the console:

Message from syslogd@lam at Tue Dec 16 04:40:21 2003 ...
lam kernel: Assertion failure in do_get_write_access() at transaction.c:612: "jh->b_transaction == transaction || jh->b_transaction == journal->j_committing_transaction"

I did some reading online and it seems that other people have had this problem with kernel's and the ext3 fs. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this error and knows what causes it. I am running ext3. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
