I had one of each come out of a 2.0.34 kernel, compiled from scratch.
Life seems easier if I don't reuse .config files or anything else from
one kernel to the next, so I always make mrproper before patching.

Haven't seen it more than once though, and that was six days ago. The
machine does little besides serve web pages and issue a general
protection on tcp_recvmsg+368/1036 every week or so.

Intel P133, gcc 2.7.2.1. More info if you're interested.
