Ok, I've confirmed that it's usbmon under 2.6.29.1 on x86_64 which causes complete system lockups when doing 'tcpdump host ##.##.##.##'. I compiled usbmon as a module, started a tcpdump and couldn't get a crash. Loaded the module with tcpdump still going, no problems. Stop and restart tcpdump, bang! Instant hang. I'm now building 2.6.28 to see if that works properly or not. I suspect I might have to go back farther, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions of a known good state I should start bisection from?
