The problem is almost certainly in the way that the
daemons are sleeping, as you mentioned very early on in this thread.
The curious thing is, why I can't reproduce this on a similar
CPU (though non-Xeon, perhaps it is completely different) with
the same kernel.
Could you hunt around on netdev and lkml to see if there
is any mention of problems like this in other code?
