As I mentioned upstream, I have those three sysctls set on this F12 box
(which I didn't do myself - something in-distro did it) already. I did a
fresh install recently (I never upgrade Fedora, generally re-install)
and out of the box it would fall over from time to time, until the more
recent kernel updates saw the box panic multiple times per day.
