- This is a kernel catastrophic failure, which 9 times outta 10 is due to
- some hardware glitch... I'm stretching here, but it's possible that
- the increased buffers may be pushing the ethernet card faster than it
- can reliably go... or possibly it's onboard RAM/buffer is flaky.
-
- Type 'netstat -m' to see if you _really_ need that many... downsizing it
- may help.
