I can add some more info since I originally looked at the problem.  This
happens on 2.6.38 as well, and on this 2.6.32 kernel with a backported
3.7.0 bonding driver (with the primary_reselect option).  Harsha has a
prototype patch that's being tested, but wanted to log the bug to see
if one of the bonding maintainers had a better solution.

I'll let him respond as I'm now out of the loop...

Thanks,

-Brian
