Sorry Andy, we haven't had time to look. But Gabriel also is worried
that there are no real spinlocks around the hash functions in
lib/hash.c. Could this be munging the messages and/or their handling?
Gabriel has started to put in the userland spinlock code, so we will
report if it helps.

Any other userland synchronisation areas we should worry about?
