   Please describe in detail what sorts of networking things occur on the
machine. The backtrace appears to indicate possible missing splnet protection
in some other part of the kernel, probably when a TCP connection is rundown
under unusual circumstances. I've never seen this myself, nor heard of any
reports of this problem, so I'm interested in what your machine is doing
to cause this.
   The "hackers" list is not the correct mailing list to report bugs. We have
a "bugs" mailing list for that as well as a GNATS bug tracking system that
we encourage people to use.
