Hi David,
this is an ehea driver problem, which is occuring when the receive queue runs
empty. The faulting code is more specifically the following line:
pref = (skb_array[x]->data);
Here the access to the struct element data would cause an exception.We could
have made the if block a little smaller.

Hannes
