The system runs stably under light load. Heavy disk writes, here induced
by 200Mbit scp's onto the drive, cause the oops within a minute or two.
It's entirely reproducible and appears to give the same trace each time.

I'll have a go at digging up the root of this problem, but anyone with
more experience is welcome to pitch in!
