That's amazing, you've taken a trip into the future and are running
2.6.27 already, please let me borrow your time machine :-)

More seriously, there is obviously something very unique to your
setup or else everyone would be reporting this crash, and we have
to find out what that might be.

There seems to be bunch of netfilter stuff in your traces, but
the top of the trace is somewhere totally unrelated.  This is
a common reoccurance in your crash traces, making them less
useful than they could be.

I know you asked before what can be done to improve the traces,
but I'm not an x86 expert so I have no idea how to help you
in that area.

Patrick, could you see if you can make any sense of his log?
I see conttrack a lot in the backtraces.

Thanks.
