The problem is definitely somewhere in the 2.6.34 commit regarding IGMP
snooping (when disabling it, everything works). I have attached a
tcpdump log of data coming through the bridge and data coming through an
attached port (eth1). The lockups are easily spotted, since I use mtr to
constantly ping the problematic machine, and there aren't any
incoming/outgoing packets during the lockup.

Anything else I could possibly provide? :-)
