For now i've turned pktgen off in my tests. Will check it again once 
things have calmed down somewhat.

Also, i just tried to reproduce the pktgen crash with latest -git and 
the config i sent - no luck, so i cannot test Cyrill's patch either.

Btw., we are seeing some other preempt count and task related 
weirdnesses as well in other code, maybe it's related. No good pattern 
yet to act upon.

Anyway - please disregard this bugreport until i've investigated it 
closer.

	Ingo
