Yes, that was my recommendation, too...   I also recommended disabling
more and more features (i.e. remove iptable_nat, iptable_mangle, ...) to
see if the problem disappears at some point.

However since this is a production machine, I doubt there is too much
room for experimenting.  We're now trying to reproduce this issue with a
seperate box in the lab, though no success so far.
