I am a regular "__SMP__" tester. I don't enable __SMP__ on single CPU
machines. The problems I have been reporting are slowly being fixed.
They are real problems which have been found since 2.1.34++. Some
problems remain.

Try to `execute` vmlinux. It should cause a core-dump, not a system
crash. This is just an example. The recent "free init memory" problem
causes screen echo to be mapped as ^C^o^n^t^t^o^l characters, etc.

Nope. 'Tisn't an operator problem. These things are real.

Cheers,
Dick Johnson
