2.6.8 is really old, over 3 years now.  So forgive if memory of the bugs
in that kernel is fading.  I think the one you're seeing was was caused
by memory prefetching beyond the end of memory.  The easy fix is to disable
prefetching.  See a  modern memcpy for how to do that.  There are several
other interesting issues hidden in 2.6.8 so I think you really should
upgrade.
