Interesting indeed. Lapham's report was on FC6 which uses a kernel
vastly newer than RHEL4 (2.6.20) but his was also x86_64, which might
be relevant. I recall trying a little bit to reproduce the problem
after updating my own x86_64 box to FC6, but without success.

Is it possible/reasonable/practical to (a) hold off longer than that
and (b) get me access to the box? On Monday I'd have a chance to
involve some Red Hat kernel folk in looking at it.
