The problem disappeared when I compiled the 2.6.10 kernel. Similar compilation options for the 2.6.9 kernel show the problem, just as with the 2.6.9 of debian unstable.
I currently run jobs on the machine that showed this problem. I could reboot it in a couple of days to perform the test if needed. Let me know.
