What on your system is openning x25 sockets?  Some stress/torture
program that opens random sockets?

Or have you gotten into packet radio recently? :-)

packet radio is AX.25

X.25 is the CCITT wired network protocol over HDLC/LAP-B

I think David's larger point was that what looked to me like more 
widespread breakage was in fact limited to [a]x25, a comparatively 
rarely used (and rarely tested) corner of the kernel.

I turned them off and that solved the problems here. (and i suspect 
the real fix wont be far away either) Thanks everyone.
