Sorry bout that.  It is a 2.4.17 kernel and the test is to
verify that we have the preempt code right.  The question at
hand is if this is a likely preempt problem or just a pure
overload.  The stress on the network is rather high.

I would expect that the network code would recover from this
sort of thing, so we are looking for a preempt issue at the
moment.  Still, it could just be the way things work in the
2.4.17 kernel so I thought I would ask.
