Two other recent reports are:
1. Buggy applications that hold packets in their input queue forever,

Surely the sockets listen for the net-unregister event and clean
themselves up???  An app shouldn't be able to hang the kernel
like this...

2. The VLAN code had a number of reference bugs, if you look through
   recent netdev mailing list you will see the discussion.

Could be VLAN code, but my debug patch seems to implicate the ref
leaks in neighbor.c....  I also reproduced with another type of VLANs
other than 802.1q...
