Subject: Problem with skbuff.c

Hi

In the latest months (it started around nov/dec 2006) I experienced
some random kernel panics.
After some time I managed to work out what was happening.

I found this patch
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/29/335 and actually seems to fix the
problem. I'm running the latest 2.6.20 with the following patch since
1 week and I'm not having panics anymore.

I hope this helps.
