I'm not seeing any BUG* in traps.c @ line 904.  Do you have some  
other patches on top of 2.6.29.6?

I have LTTng patches on top of linux-2.6.29.6.

Does it modify traps.c?  Can you see what the code around line 904  
looks like and post that.

 905         }
 906 #endif

 908         /* Try to emulate it if we should. */

Are you sure this is coming from the LTTng patches?  Which actual  
patch makes this change?
