Understandable.

We've been unable to pin down what triggers this bug, so we are unable 
to reproduce it synthetically. It only appears to happen on shared 
servers with lots of NFS traffic, and in all cases it happened with more 
than a month of uptime. Also, we are unable to put an upstream kernel on 
a production machine.

These two conditions will make it exceedingly unlikely that we would be 
able to work this out with an upstream kernel.

Even if we were able to reproduce this with an upstream kernel, if it 
takes such a long time to reproduce could that have aged the kernel 
we're testing enough to invalidate our testing results?

Cheers!
Iordan
