The computer deadlocks within few seconds (3 to 5), and it hangs everything
including vmstat, and does not get as for as the file system. I will write it
down by hand and post it.
Here is the sysrq-m when it hung, maybe this will provide some you wanted from
vmstat:

I shall try this and then report the status.

OK. I have tried 2.6.1-mm4 which includes the most recent -netdev updates from
Jeff Garzik and it behaves the same way.
