It usually happens when I'm testing a networking problem on a Win9X/NT box; i will ping my linux box to see if the winbox is working, and get no reply for a few seconds. The linux box is not doing anything strange afaik, and is not usually loaded (except when i'm at the console in blender or quake2 ;)
I'm running kernel 2.2.3, but have noticed this problem with 2.2.1; i can't speak for 2.2.2. The system is a P2 (Deschutes) 450 on a Supermicro dual-cpu board (but only one cpu) - 128mb SDRAM, all scsi system, using the mainboard's dual adaptec 1490UW controllers.
let me know if there's anything i can do to test.
