===================================================================
I believe I was changing from ethernet to wireless frequently while
doing some testing just before this particular instance. However this
bug is typicaly trigggered several times when just using eth0 and has
been happening for the last week.
For completeness, here are extracts from the log before the instance
above (when I was probably explicitly taking eth0 up and down, so it
possibly has irrelevant noise from those activities):
