Some of the reports I am seeing look like a memory stomp. You can turn on
skbuff checking which may nor may not give any info if the networking is 
doing something very silly (CONFIG_SKB_CHECK in /usr/include/linux/skbuff.h
then make dep;make clean;make zImage). - You'll also not be able to use
modular drivers with the debugging on.
