Ah yeah.  Here's what I was thinking of:

   Date:   Sat, 15 May 2004 19:18:37 -0700 (PDT)
   From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds at osdl.org>
   Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0405151914280.10718 at ppc970.osdl.org>

which says, in part:

  "[...]

   Thanks. If that doesn't do it, can you start binary-searching on
   kernel versions? I run with preempt myself (well, not on my current
   G5 desktop, but otherwise), so it _should_ be stable, but you may
   have a driver or something else that doesn't like preempt.

   [...]"
