It looks like Arjan's config is using CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, and
you're using CONFIG_PREEMPT...
That's simply a diff of what's changed between my own configs. I used
PREEMPT in 2.6.6 and PREEMENT_VOLUNTARY in 2.6.7. No other changes in
my own config account for the behavioral changes I have been
encountering with PREEMENT_VOLUNTARY. BTW if I diffed Arjan's config to
mine the diff would probably be larger than either config files
themselves. I've attached my config file. Let me know if you see
anything stupid in there... I do think though these problems are from
preempt_voluntary because I have never before encountered this behavior
in any 2.6.x or 2.5.x kernel to date...
