Hi Jeremy: Thanks a lot for your feedback. Actually, when I reported the bug, I had a crash of my server system about once a week, always somehow related (IIRC) to sock_alloc_send_skb & friends.
As I didn't get any support and the situation was totally unacceptable for our users, I decided to build my own kernel. I now run 2.6.27.25 on an otherwise unmodified 8.04 (except for a few self-built packages, mainly from Lenny, including a win7-compliant samba, freeradius w/LDAP, etc), and didn't see *any* crashes since then. Maybe I should add that I ran a nfsv4 server on top of xfs partitions. With the new self-compiled kernel, the nfs4 daemon crashed after ~2..3 hours and could not be re-activated, except after a reboot. I switched back to nfsv3, and now the system runs really stable. As the box is a production server, I unfortunately cannot test the new kernels. I would be interested to know, though, if the combination 64 Bit kernel - NFSv4 - xfs is known to work with the upcoming LTS release of Ubuntu. NFSv3 isn't secure these days...
