The server is a 2.6.25 kernel from Debian backports.org. I was planning
to downgrade to the 2.6.24 "Etch and a half" kernel but was holding off
while this thread was in progress. If you think it would be a useful
data point I can do it sooner rather than later.

It's changing the client kernel which seems to make a difference since
running 2.6.24 against this server has given me no trouble. I guess the
newer client could expose a bug in the server though.
