2.4.27 has some bug fixes that may fix this problem.  If 2.4.27 doesn't
fix it, and you see the problem again, the kernel will now print out
more information to diagnose the nature of the dtree corruption.

There was a specific bug where an out-of-space condition triggered this
problem that is fixed in 2.4.27.  Is there any chance this drive had
been completely filled up?
