Bug#10954: Kernel panic: skpush:under

Package: kernel-source-2.0.30
Version: 2.0.30-7

This morning my machine panicked with the following on the console:

Kernel panic: skpush:under: 0014140c:84772916
In swapper task - not syncing

According to my symbol table and my reading of the source code, this
came from a call to skb_push() from within packet_rcv(). packet_rcv
is at 001413c8 and packet_sendmsg is at 00141484.

The machine is a 120 MHz Pentium. Two days ago I increased the
RAM from 32 MB to 128 MB and had booted it with the necessary
mem=128M option to get it to recognize the extra RAM. Yesterday
I ran programs with a lot of disk I/O on some very large files
(650 MB) that made good use of this extra RAM.

The machine has two Ethernet interfaces, a 3C590 and a NE2000.
It's used as an IP router with a fairly complex configuration; both
IP masquerading and IP-in-IP tunneling are used. At the time of
the crash I had tcpdump running on the NE2000 interface.
