I looked through your oops repoort, and the report describes an
impossible sequence:
the copy operation to user space failed, but this cannot fail: an
exception handler is installed, and that catches any exceptions.
Which linker/compiler are you using?
sh /usr/src/linux/scripts/ver_linux
Is that the first oops, or has there been another oopses since the last
reboot?
Could you try the attached test program? gettimeofday() should return
-1, errno=14 [EFAULT]
And could you send me the memory map of a running 'mar15d' process?
cat /proc/<pid>/maps
