Exiting Live TV with HD5000 results in "Bad page state" in dmesg; backtrace included

[Yeechang Lee <ylee@…>]

When I exit Live TV (whether by switching to another tuner or by exiting to the main menu) using a HD5000 AirStar2 ATSC card, I see the following in dmesg:

Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'mythfrontend', page c161d700)
flags:0x80000400 mapping:00000000 mapcount:0 count:0 (Tainted: PF   B)

Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed

Curiously, despite the warning about a reboot being needed, as far as I can tell the system (mythbackend, mythfrontend, etc.) continues to run fine. I wouldn't have even noticed the error except that on my system syslog sends warning messages to 'wall'. This issue does *not* occur when stopping a recording from the HD5000.

I am using the ATrpms RPM package of 0.19 with the ATrpms Nvidia 7676 drivers on a Pentium 4 3.0GHz frontend/backend running Fedora Core 4 and the latest 2.6.15-1831_FC4smp kernel. I previously used the 0.18.1 ATrpms package with no such error messages.
