Bug 147898

Description of problem:
It appears that there is a problem with the networking subsystem. After what 
could very well be heavy network activity I get:

"Kernel panic - not suncing: net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c:213: spin_lock (net/core/sock.
c:C9E41060) already locked by net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c/1793"

The machine, in addition to my workstation, is also an iptables firewall with 
forwarding for several machines on my net.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.10-1.760_FC3

however, due to missing support for eata drivers I have added that from the .src 
package and also done some more minor changes:

[ft@leia linux-2.6.10]$ diff .config configs/kernel-2.6.10-i686.config |grep ^\<
< # Linux kernel version: 2.6.10-prep

[ft@leia linux-2.6.10]$

other occasions.
