I also have another machine that is running the same kernel but is not running 
flawlessly (however it is running a known-buggy kernel module which has 
caused the same problem in previous kernels as are occuring in the latest 
one).

I am running a Desktop test machine (a SE play machine on the LAN at work) 
which has 23 days of uptime on light load with the same kernel.

Also I have some live production servers running the same LSM patch but with 
the OpenWall option selected.  They are mail servers with 250,000 accounts 
per server for a total of 1M accounts across four servers.  Apart from some 
disk-IO performance issues they are running perfectly.

Maybe that's the issue.

Why don't you put that kernel on snoopy?  The only thing that stopped me 
putting all the latest kernels on ivanova was being on a different continent 
to it...
