Well, it was producing working kernels up until 2.6.30, but I recompiled with
gcc (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2
and the box has been running nearly 48 hour without incident. My previous 
record was 2. So I guess we can put this down to a new compiler bug.

I probably should have checked this before reporting a bug. Mea culpa
