Mugunthan and all, We have essentially proven our theory, but have yet to solve the problem.  Our theory was that the driver was essentially taking a few second nap during transmission, despite there being plenty more work to do.  We further theorized that our custom userspace application was

A quick follow-up note: The stress line that was running during the crash mentioned was: stress --cpu 8 --io 8 --vm 1 --vm-bytes 150M --hdd 2 --timeout 60. The --hdd 2 option was a leftover that was not supposed to be there.  So that may have created a chunk more disk work for the processor.
