Date: Tue Aug 25 2009 - 15:47:03 EST
Kernel 2.6.31-rc7
x86 , 32-bit
gcc 4.4.1
Happened on heavy network load, i don't know if it is related.
Here is part of remote syslog, notice failed dropbear ssh authentication.
I guess if it is not fixed - it is critical to upcoming release, seems bug
triggered by ssh worm.
