Here some further information:

* it happened on several routers when a lot of traffic was going over the 
ipsec-tunnel, always with this oops

* I copied several times about 32MB via ssh to a router without using the 
ipsec-tunnel (but the same interface) without any problems

* the same was true when the router had to route the traffic and no tunnel was 
involved

* copying over the tunnel made this same router crash

* only routers with padlock seem to have this problem because I didn't observe 
this on any router without it (i.e. athlons K7 or intel quad-core  - and I 
tried the same things on them).
