You do use AppleTalk, right?
Do you use AppleTalk routing? I mean, have you setup your Linux box to
advertise (or participate in advertising) AppleTalk "zones"?
If so, did the zones disappear after the crash? Did you experience other
problems in your AppleTalk networking - like network IDs messed up?
(I am describing the kind of problems that I have experienced myself but
can't figure out if is related to that bug or not).

I won't use your AMD compilation, but it would be great if you can
confirm that the kernel fixes your problem.
Beware that my unofficial package contains more than just that AppleTalk
fix (see the changelog). You may want only that specific bugfix and not
the other tweaks.
