He said crash, not freeze.  (Well, he said "chase", but "crash" was clearly
meant.)

Ok, so it sounds like this was an unrelated extension problem.

The original crash reported has so far only been reproduced on systems
running 2.6.11, which is not a release kernel.  I'm therefore downgrading
this bug; unless someone (preferably the original reporter, so that we know
we're talking about the same bug!) can show a backtrace running on a kernel
that's targetted for sarge release, I recommend closing the report.
