Yes, please, I wouldn't mind seeing your patches. When I apply the
patch very kindly supplied by another kernel hacker recently, the
system boots fine, but when ipppd starts up a syncppp session, I get
a kmalloc error -- it looks like kmalloc is being asked to allocate
several megabytes of memory! Almost as if it's being presented with
a pointer, rather than an int.

Unfortunately, a careful look (and several printks) in the
isdn_ppp.c, isdn_net.c, isdnl1.c (etc.) code fails to reveal the
culprit.

Hope you can help.

Yours,
