Sorry, I can't provide more informations on this version because I
don't use it anymore, I can just corrected myself, it was not a
2.6.32.8 kernel but a 2.6.32.7 backport debian kernel, which had been
recompiled.

Because of this problem I took the oportunity to change to a 2.6.32.26
kernel, however as there was nothing on the changelog or bugzilla
about the resolution of this issue we have applied the patch found in
bugzilla which revealed this problem:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16991#c17

Then I realised that all of my four crashed boxes were pacemaker/corosync clusters and pacemaker uses lots of RT priority tasks. So I believe this is important, and might be reason why other machines seem to be running rock solid - they are not running any RT tasks.
