Yes, as I wrote, plugging and unplugging. Usually, there is no traffic I'm aware of,
simply the - a hunch - attempt to renegotiate the connection triggers the crash. As I can
force by bringing up and down the port on the switch.
Of course you can get a panic/backtrace, but I need the weekend. I complained
in another thread about the inability of getting a core - I use ELI encrypted swap, so I
shot myself at that point.
