Looks like we've been given a NULL inode, right at the very start of
ext3_writepage.  That could be just about anything corrupting the
inode state: an ext3 fault, or something else in the VM, or indeed a
different filesystem.

What modules do you have loaded, and what other filesystems are you
using?  At the moment I'm still searching for a pattern here.  

Did the other oops look identical to this?  Is there any more of the
call trace available for this particular oops?

Thanks,
 Stephen
