Before we jump to any conclusions can people seeing kerneld type problems also
try running kernels with SKB debugging on (edit include/linux/skbuff.h) and
built from clean. Im still not convinced all the memory tramples are out of
the net code, and while route to %p is born dead is ok in itself a storm of
them seems a little odd too.
