For what it's worth I just looked over the changes in netnode.c and
nothing is jumping out at me. The changes ran fine for me when tested
on the later 2.6.25-rcX kernels but I suppose that doesn't mean a whole
lot.

I've got a 4-way x86_64 box but it needs to be installed (which means
I'm not going to be able to do anything useful with it until tomorrow
at the earliest). I'll try it out and see if I can recreate the
problem.
