I've not been able to reproduce the problem on a test system, but it
took less than sixteen hours for an oops to occur on
linux-image-2.6.18-6-686 2.6.18.dfsg.1-23etch1 on my production system.
The oops takes down AppleTalk but does not break other parts of the
system.

I'll prepare to put the 2.6.24 kernel into production and try with it.
