I am rebuilding a fresher one right now.  According to Ian's post,
the problem is likely to remain.  What do you advice me to do to
track this down ?

FYI, my -CURRENT kernel (as well userland) is patched with ProPolice.
I don't think this can lead to this kind of problem, the overhead is
really small, in an order of 3 percent.  Do you think such an
overhead in a time-critial path could trigger a watchdog timeout ?

Thank you.
