My T2 (www.t2-project.org) PowerPC systems tend to be rock solid - I only once managed to get random memory corruption when I tried out PREEMPTION. BenH mentioned PREEMPTION and ReiserFS (I use) might not play that well - at least not on PowerPC.
I had yet no time to review the affected code myself - however without PREEMPTION all is well.
