It is the visor.[ch] in vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 that is the culprit. That would make sense. Vanilla 2.6.9 has the visor denial of service hole (and a mass of other holes but none of the others touch visor). The earlier fix had a bug in it and is in 681_FC3, the full fix is in the later kernels and in current 2.6.9-ac and should work fine.
