Ah!  I thought it was something more insideous than this...

I filed a PR on that a week or two ago, and Christos put in a fix.  He
didn't have any XNS stuff to test it against, and my XNS traffic is
sporadic, and from an unknown (by me -- over the PPP link) source, so
I didn't volunteer to test it.  You might try supping the latest
kernel sources and see if it runs more reliably with XNS in.
