I did #1 and #2 and ran my original experiment. I did not get a panic but
I got 0 replies from the server. So I undid the #2 and I got a kernel 
panic (included below).
So I am going to try to overload the server on loopback interface (I think
this is what you are saying) and I will let you know of the results.

I am enclosing the kernel config just in case that might clue anyone to 
a configuration problem.

Thanks,
