I can't reproduce this problem on either a USII running Aurora Linux with
gcc-4.2.3 + kernel 2.6.25-rc2, or a dual USIIIi running Solaris 9 with gcc-4.2.3.

Thus it may be a generic USIII problem in the Linux kernel, or it may be
a problem with one of the many patches Debian applies to the kernel, the
gcc used to compile the kernel, the regular gcc (which may or may not be
the one used to compiler the kernel), glibc, and finally Erlang/OTP (yes
I noticed you patched Erlang too).
