That's quite believable.

I don't see any relevant fixes in stable recently (except maybe
v2.6.32.43~31, "clocksource: Make watchdog robust vs. interruption"
which is not in squeeze yet), while upstream of course there has been
more activity.  Would it be possible to test a v3.0.x kernel from
unstable?

Thanks for a clear report,
Jonathan
