Linux greer 3.2.6 #1 SMP Mon Feb 20 17:05:10 CST 2012 i686 GNU/Linux

This is a hand rolled 'minimalist' kernel with the old SLAB allocator,
no modules, Debian 6 atop.  Just over 11 months of flawless operation,
though load is probably much lighter than on your system.

Did you roll this 3.7.1 yourself?  I'm wondering if you did something
wonky in your config that's causing or contributing to your problems.
