During Ubuntu Lucid kernel regression testing, after the merge of
2.6.32.62, we found problems with the following patches
[ 059/143] sysctl net: Keep tcp_syn_retries inside the boundary
(Upstream commit 651e92716aaae60fc41b9652f54cb6803896e0da)
[ 065/143] net: check net.core.somaxconn sysctl values
(Upstream commit 5f671d6b4ec3e6d66c2a868738af2cdea09e7509)
The following two stack traces were found in kernel logs:

and here's a bug link:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1326473
For the Ubuntu Lucid kernel, we ended up reverting the offending
commits. Since I was able to reproduce this problem with a vanilla
2.6.32.62, you may want to take a similar action for the next 2.6.32
release.
Cheers,
