We used the one that comes native with the Rhel5.4 distro. I also used installed
OFED-1.5 on Rhel5.4 and still see the same problem.

I am not exactly sure what you are hinting at. Simplest case is to use IPoIB
devices as slaves and with the steps below the crash occurs. The crash is specific
to IPoIB, and does not happen with Ethernet slaves.

We used what is natively available with Rhel5.4.

indeed news to me.
