Also, how old is the machine? Any chance you're just seeing random

It's about four years old. It was in storage for about six months and I
got it repaired a few weeks ago (display cable and inverter). The sort
of crazy crap I've been reporting certainly smacks of memory corruption.
But on the other hand, 2.6.25 (Debian's) and 2.6.26 (my own) have been
trouble-free.

While it is possible that the new kernel tickles a hardware bug and all the old ones don't, I would put my $ on the kernel being the issue.
