Thank you for confirming this.

I've just tested - the problem is still seen with
2.6.18-238.1.1.el5.028stab083.1.owl2 (our build of
2.6.18-238.1.1.el5.028stab083.1 with minor changes).

This is on x86_64.

Do you have any machine with an atl1 NIC where you could try to
reproduce the issue (if you care)?  So far, it's just my guess that the
issue is atl1-related - because it is seen on the only machine with
atl1, but not elsewhere.  Testing on a second machine with atl1 could
confirm this.
