Warnings found in kernel, relating to network corruption.

This bug is new as of 2.6.31.x kernels. After a short period of heavy surfing
(e.g. lots of tabs open in Firefox), the kernel will suddenly stop responding.
Nothing is written to the serial console, and the machine stops responding to
pings. My only clue so far has been a warning which I found once in my dmesg
log (attached).

I have already tried manually applying this patch from the upcoming -stable
queue:

net-fix-sk_forward_alloc-corruption.patch

to no effect.

I am currently switching back to Fedora's 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.i686 kernel to see
if it is more stable. (I cannot trust 2.6.31.6 any more.)
