Hello Marcelo,
well, my report might have been a bit misleading, 2.6.31.2 has been running there for almost 3 weeks.
So the problem didn't occur JUST after the upgrade. But it never occured before it, while
we were using older kernels (varius 2.6.30.x, 2.6.29.x and older).
I've updated machine to 2.6.31.5, and it's been running without problem since then,
but it's been just few days, so we'll see.
I'll report if the problem appears again.
Thanks.
regards
nik
