Subject: Socket-related problem in x86_64 Kernel (2.6.16.53-0.8-smp)?

Hi,

since upgrading from SLES9 SP3 to SLES10 SP1 I see kernel segfaults which seem 
network-related: Most notably slapd does not run any more, and my sendmail-milter 
based virus scanner terminates now and then with kernel segfault.

Current kernel form SLES10 SP1 is: 

# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.16.53-0.8-smp (geeko@...ldhost) (gcc version 4.1.2 20070115 
(prerelease) (SUSE Linux)) #1 SMP Fri Aug 31 13:07:27 UTC 2007

The effects in syslog are:

I know that this kind of report is not very helpful to you guys, but Novell does 
not allow me to report a kernel bug directly. (I've told the person who may to do 
so, but I'm unsure whether something is in progress already).

Also note that the i586 (32-bit, non-SMP) kernel does not have that problem.
