2.0.32 oops

2.0.32 gave the following message. The machine stayed up, but was
useless. Kernel config follows (EIP is beyond _end of kernel namelist).
This is the same machine as in my Nov 22 "2.0.32 + ipfw crash" note
which suggested that ipfw might be a factor. Ipfw was not in use
when this oops occurred.

P5-166, 2 x 3c509, AHA-2940, (watchdog and ipfw not in use).
Hardware appears reliable: no problems using 2.0.28.

This machine has large amounts of network I/O, many processes spawned,
and small amounts of disk I/O.

Thanks,
Doug
