Hello

this happens with a linux 2.1.91 acting as router (IP-Masqu)
(This happened also with pre-patch 2.1.91-1)

You can trigger an oops with a windows NT box
open 2 telnets to the linux box
ask for mail (pop connection to the internet over linux-box)
and try a FTP-Session (you can log in try to get a file to the internet (www.kernel.org))
--> 100 % OOps (3 times , no log)

This is copied by hand (no log)

Regards
Dietmar
