The first indication of trouble was the syslog message
kernel: erpcd forgot to set AF_INET in udp sendmsg. Fix it!
Apparently, that message from ipv4/udp.c is more than a suggestion :^)
Anyway, after rebuilding erpcd under 2.1.42, I am no longer experiencing
oops: 0000
cpu: 0
eip: 0010 :[<c01568b0>]
where
c0156504 t tcp_ack
c0156954 t tcp_fin
Ad nauseum detail available.
