well, obviously you didn't follow my advice to
update the kernel too, and now you are hitting
the pivot issue fixed in vs2.3.0.36.5 (for 2.6.27.x)

note that there are at least 10 more fixes we
did between your kernel version and the current
http://vserver.13thfloor.at/ExperimentalT/patch-2.6.27.39-vs2.3.0.36.8.diff
