Greetings! And thank you so much for your reply! "pcqetix1" is a
little server program we've written/modified to retrieve udp data
packets being continually broadcast across the ethernet and placing
them on a circular shared memory buffer. This process runs
continually for about two weeks before this oops happens, always in
the same place and with the same process. So yes, the previous oopses
I've reported also referred to this program. This must have happened
about 5-10 times already, in identical fashion. So the oops is really
quite reproducible, but at such a long interval as to make its
reproducibility almost useless.

Any advice would be most appreciated!
