I tried this, and I tried that, and finally got to the bottom of it.  A
kernel bug.  Posted some stuff to lkml, and it's being looked
into.  Probably something to do with connection tracking module in
netfilter.

Anyway, backup up to 2.4.20, and everything has been working great for
awhile now.  Just thought I'd close this out, in case anyone was losing
sleep or anything... :)
