Actually, I have been able to demonstrate silent reboots since
late 2.2.6, and subsequently.

I didn't speak up because I assumed it was a local driver problem
with a custom driver.

The reboots are infrequent, but appear to occur most commonly
with high network load, and more commonly with RIP being the
source of the load.

The reboot is completely silent; no console logs, no panic message,
nothing -- except "/ was not unmounted cleanly" in the dmesg after
the event.

FWIW.
