The system is a UP system..

# CONFIG_SMP is not set
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC=y
CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=y
CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y
CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC=y
CONFIG_X86_TSC=y
CONFIG_X86_MCE=y

I've put the full .config up at http://www.reub.net/linux/

Could this be happening on an SMP system only ? If so, e100intr routine
services tx queues (e100_tx_srv)
without holding a lock. Can't multiple rx interrupts be scheduled on
different cpus at the same time, and
each execute dev_kfree_skb_irq() which decrements the ref count too many
times ? But the softirq handler
(net_tx_action) seems to clean up the skb once as the dec_test returns 1
only if count is zero, so I don't see
where the dst ref is being decremented wrongly in this case.
