Random crashes with 2.6.27-rc3 on PPC

I am seeing random kernel and userland application crashes on a Powerbook running a 2.6.27-rc3 based kernel (wireless-testing.git). The crashes did recently appear. It might be the case that they were introduced with the merge of 2.6.27-rc1 into wireless-testing. I'm not sure on that one, however.
