I assume it must be something specific to your configuration
or setup.

If plain 2.6.18 was that unstable we would be flooded in reports.
But that's not the case. I also definitely don't see it on any of my systems
(except that if you use PIT time source on a multi core system
things break on i386)

Perhaps you list your setup and your configuration and a boot log
for the working case? I also I would really recommend to do the make
distclean ; recompile step I mentioned earlier.
