That is still pretty awful ... but it doesn't stop working? (you say hangs, but then resets)

Ok, that means the "D-Link magic" does improve reset.
It may be interesting to find out which parts that help. I simply added things that looked good ... Lacking information on what the bit-flipping is supposed to do, one way to try and do that is to remove code and see how much can be removed without breaking anything. (Sounds like a childrens game, except for programmers ...)
I'll still try generating collisions and see what happens. If I can't reproduce this perhaps you would test a different patch to see which change that made a difference?
