To all out knowledge, this bug may be most likely triggered by a slow, saturated network, which supposedly produces IP packet drops and/or triggers IP packets not arriving in sequence and hence need to reordered by the kernel.

Examples for such setups are UMTS data cards or 2MBit/s DSL lines with a running bittorrent client or a heavily AJAXed webapp like gmail.

I already poinetd out a patch, which has been commited on the 2.6.25 kernel branch which seems to fix a lockup problem with IP queues in the kernel.

Please, please, ubuntu kernel developers review this patch and start trying to reproduce this problem in the nea future,
