kill_fasync: bad magic number in fasync_struct!

I tried to upgrade our news server this afternoon from 1.2.13+ to 1.3.57.
After upgrading to gcc 2.7.2, binutils 2.6.0.12, ad infinitum, I rebooted
with 1.3.57 and immediately started getting

May 2 17:19:58 hunter kernel: kill_fasync: bad magic number in fasync_struct!
May 2 17:21:58 hunter kernel: kill_fasync: bad magic number in fasync_struct!
May 2 17:22:28 hunter kernel: kill_fasync: bad magic number in fasync_struct!
May 2 17:22:58 hunter kernel: kill_fasync: bad magic number in fasync_struct!
May 2 17:23:28 hunter kernel: kill_fasync: bad magic number in fasync_struct!
May 2 18:30:59 hunter kernel: kill_fasync: bad magic number in fasync_struct!

This is trimmed as it didn't seem to be correlated with anything else.
Another problem is that logins seem to take a _long_ time (4-5 minutes).
Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be a hardware problem since 1.2.13 has
only locked up once in the last 2-3 months.

Does anyone have suggestions on what other information might be helpful in
diagnosing this? I'm more than willing to do my best to help troubleshoot
this and even provide an account on the machine if that will help.

TIA
