Since you seem to have found the problem, this is probably not relevant,
but I found this on Kernel Traffic:

	Alan remarked, "2.5.x crashes erratically and randomly under
	high tty/pty load.  At the moment I'm assuming this is the tty
	code. That means we can't decide not to fix it since its already
	fatally broken." Close by, Linus Torvalds said he didn't think
	the TTY code was in such bad shape. He guessed there were just a
	few locking problems that had crept in, coupled with the
	preemption patches' tendency to expose existing locking bugs.

It sounds vaguely related, except maybe for the "high load" bit.
