Subject: 2.5.56 panics PostgreSQL

Yesterday I put 2.5.56 on my SQL server and PostgreSQL started panicking
repeatedly and frequently complaining about missing commit logs. 2.5.56
also issued a single NMI .. dazed and confused but continuing warning
shortly after startup.

Rebooting back into 2.4 and the world was well again. Attached is my
.config in bz2 form.

Reiserfs. Postgres is the only program that had problems, but it's also
the one that does 99% of all the activity on the system.

I can in short order. Let me grab my notebook and get a kernel w/
serial console going.

Just for clarification, the kernel isn't OOPSing, PostgreSQL is the one
having fits and shutting down/starting up left and right.

The NMI is the only kernel indication that something is odd. Which
never happens under 2.4.
