We have too big problems with this scheduler bug.
It occurs on several Lenny Machines running as VM on ESX3.5U4
Installed Kernel Package is 2.6.26-19

The Machines are not crashing, but they tend to consume lots of cpu
resources until they are nearly unusable or affect other VMs running on
the ESX Host.

This is a "normal" log message from one Vm running a lot of cron jobs:
At the time of writing two cron processes each take 49,9% of cpu

Matthias
