I've reproduced with exactly commit
f41f741838480aeaa3a189cff6e210503cf9c42d on trunk and am now running
2e96d2867245668dbdb973729288cf69b9fafa66 which is the changeset
immediately before.

It's possible, the good case is naturally quite hard to establish with
100% certainty. I declared v2.6.26 OK after an uptime of 4 days and 19
hours, compared with failure normally within 1-2 days. It's possible I
was premature in doing so. I'll run 2e96d2867 for at least a full week
before reporting back.
