Ok, I was able to create the packages with the debug info, adapted the script 
to report SIGTERM sent so any process, see attachment, tested this sending some 
SIGTERM and seeing them reported by systemtap.

Anyway, currently we are not able to reproduce the problem on the server, 
magically everything seems to work on this machine. The only changes should be 
the 2 debug-info packages 
(kernel-debuginfo-common-2.6.18-194.11.3.el5.x86_64.rpm and 
kernel-xen-debuginfo-2.6.18-194.11.3.el5.x86_64.rpm).

In the same time, the problem appeared twice today on our testing server. This 
suggests to drop the hardware failure hypothesis.

I'm running systemtap on the testing server now, too.
