Dear all,

I have a similar issue, but I am running a 2.6.38-6 kernel on a HPC
cluster, and I had this issue quite often lately, especially on jobs
accessing the network (but since we are using NFS and MPI, many jobs
are actually accessing the network).

I'm using an SMP, non-PREEMPT kernel (2cpu*8 cores each machine). I
can provide you more information if you need, but please reply to me
since I'm not subscribed to the mailing list.
