It would seem that the crash was DEFINITELY caused by ingress filtering. I 
have switched it off (while keeping all egress qdiscs and filters), and now 
the router has been up for 31 hours without a glitch. Oh, well. I will look 
into patching with the latest HTB, but since I don't use it, there seems to 
be little point...

Unfortunately, I cannot tell in which module the oops happens, because once 
the machine crashes, there are no logs and the start of the error scrolls off 
the screen. :-(

All I can tell for sure is that with ingress used it crashes, without it is 
fine.
