Problems with nge driver on FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE i386

[sp0ng3b0b]

I am continuing to have problems with the nge driver on FreeBSD 
5.3-RELEASE. I have already posted the necessary information. In 
summary, the OS panics and dies when there is any traffic load on the 
nic. I have experienced this on IDS systems that are just monitoring AND 
just recently on 2 file/web servers.

I have a few questions:

1. What changed in FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE that is causing the nge to crash 
the OS? Can it be changed back? 5.2.1 worked without crashing.

2. How can I get some attention to this problem? I am not the only 
person having this problem. I've posted a few messages and have not 
recieved ANY response.

3. Is this the right list for this question? If it is, how do I get some 
visibility on this?

So far, my only workaround is to run OpenBSD 3.6. I *could* roll back to 
5.2.1 but that's ignoring the problem.

Thanks for whatever help anyone can provide.
If you want me to repost the panic message, I can.
