[rhelv6-list] A kernel bug that causes a system crash when the uptime is longer than 208.5 days

Hi,

There is a kernel bug that causes a system crash when the uptime goes
over 208.5 days. According to available info, the patch [1] is now in
kernel 3.1.5. RHEL 6 is apparently affected (timer.h has the buggy
code). I was not able to find a bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com that
is seemingly related to this bug but my search is not extensive.

Is there anyone running the RHEL-6 system long enough to see this bug?
