Well, running the oops through ksymoops and posting it would be a good
start to figuring out where the problems are.

Timing issues.  Maybe it isaccessing memory that has been freed already.
Maybe it isn't getting a lock on some stuct and if you do it slowly, the
operation has a chance to complete before another one deletes the struct.
Who knows, the ksymoops output will hopefully point us where to look.

Cheers, Andreas
