we also get all kind of internal memory corruptions with 2.1.37. This involves the kmalloc lists, tasks list ... Linus got a large bunch or more or less useful (I fear less) kernel oops analysis.
Unfortunately I have no clue were to search for the reason. However the frequency of this corruption seems to be triggered by the former locking parallel interrupts. As soon as I put in the old (slow) tulip driver the machines stay up for more than a day whereas with the new fast one the corruptions happen every 12 hours in average (I've ten machines running which provide me with some statistics...)
