Yes, I did. No individual factor triggers the bug (high CPU load, lots of disk
activity, high network load, etc.) nor does any other combination of factors
other than what I mentioned before (high network load, some disk activity,
some CPU load).

Both scp and rsync trigger it reliably, but FTP does not trigger it at all. So
CPU load (which scp and rsync generates but FTP does not) must be a key part
of the equation...

Probably - but only with networking. So I'd try with this debugging
like in my first reply plus maybe 2.6.19-rc1 (e1000 - btw. I hope
this other tested card was different model - and locking improved)
and resend conclusions to netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cheers,
