I tried sym-2 (2.4.17-pre2) and it didn't show up the problem, which is good!

More news from the old driver:

1.5c OK
1.5d OK
1.5e page fault in interrupt handler 0xa53c0c68
1.5f lock up
1.5pre-g1 lock up
1.5pre-g2 lock up
1.5pre-g3 corruption
1.5g corruption

So it happened somewhere in between 1.5d and 1.5pre-g3. I'll see whether I can
get any of the intermediates to run...
