I jinxed it. I just recompiled and the problem went away. The only
differences between the old and new kernel are a so-far-entirely-
unconfigured IPv6 setup (so nothing but link-local private addresses, no
routing, nothing) and a new compiler (4.5.x rather than 4.4.x).
Which of these caused the change in behaviour I do not yet know, but
will try to figure out (by turning IPv6 off again and seeing if
the problem recurs).
