Although I have nt received a reply from LKML, it is definitively
a real kernel bug in 2.4.22 which has been fixed in 2.4.24.

Ein weiterer Fehler trat mehrfach in 'exit.c' auf, der ebenfals
nach der Installation von Linux 2.4.24 verschwunden war.

Further bug occuring several times in 'exit.c' has also vanished
after installation of 2.4.24.
