Oh, so it's just like that panic in tcp_sack then. ;)
I've replaced the CPU in the server (was: dual core, now: quad core) for 
even more chances for a race condition to strike; waiting for this one 
to re-appear again now on 8.0-RC1 ;) (Though 39 days of uptime was a 
pretty good result for BETA3, I can't say I'm satisfied, as I have yet 
to see my 7.2-STABLE server panic; 39 days is not impressive when it 
comes to production use including running ircd for a large network.)

I do indeed hope that it will never happen again.
