Problems with 2.0.34pre16

Hi,

I've been convinced by a couple of friends to post about problems I've had
with pre16. This is on an AMD k5-166 with 48mb of RAM and 40mb of swap. Runs
sendmail, named, ftp and ssh as services.

I encounted a problem was while running strobe against my other machine,
which sits on a separate network. I managed to get an Aiee, included below,
which then caused a system hang. I rebooted and was able to repeat the
problem. At the time only BitchX, strobe, Pine and my normal services were
running. I can't repeat the problem with 2.0.32.

I unfortunately don't have the .config for the kernel, but if necessary can
provide the System.map and zImage files. Any querys to me should be sent to
me personally as I'm not actually subscribed to the list.

Aiee logged:
