Frank Ren: If you are sure the bug doesn't happen with 2.6.32.2, but with all other releases you could test, then you should try to find what has changed in it. Were you always running vanilla upstream kernels? Or always kernels from your distribution? Built on the same machine with the same compiler? If so, then have a look at the changelog from 2.6.32.2 to 2.6.32.8, looking for the culprit. I'd suggest you try 2.6.32.3 and check if the bug is there; and if not, increase the minor version until you get it: that will make the changelog really small. Then, send a mail to LKML with your findings.
You seem to be the reporter with the most precise informations out there, you may catch something interesting!
devsk: Beware not to be misled by the swapping behavior of your system. If you're often completely filling your RAM when on 64bits, then swapping may hurt responsiveness badly. When moving to 32bits, if you gain 300MB, you may not suffer from this because there's free RAM, but that's not really linked with a 64bit-only bug.
