Please do that and please do keep the CC list in your replies.

For now, we will assume this is a regression from -rc7.

I can't reproduce it not only with 2.6.26-rc8 (250 Hz), but even with
2.6.26.rc8 (300 Hz) - with same kernel and same progs.
Wine compiling + stress with 10-20 min. timeout + downloading +
browsing... loadavg up 16, but system works! (Slowly, of course, but works)
2.6.26-rc9 (300 Hz) looks also stable.
It was hardware issue I hope (but not understand, which). If this
problem appears in the future, I will say about it. Now it seems as
false regression
