After Eric's patch I no longer see this backtrace or hang, however the 
machine does
hang apparently for another reason that I have been unable to capture
no clue at all in the logs and the KVM-over-ip video does not respond 
after hang, needing a reset,
that's strange though, as it is usually able to display kernel messages 
after a crash.

   No, sysctl returns : net.ipv4.tcp_mtu_probing = 0
