Have you reported this to the isdn list? If you have the problem in a

PS: Is anyone out there using the latest i4l CVS with 125? I get..
kernel: recvmsg bug: copied ECB331B4 seq 0
last message repeated 758 times
kernel: seq 0
..times a _zillion_ followed by a deadly oops (swapper). I haven't reported
it yet (testing) but plan to this week.. just wondering if it's been seen
anywhere else.
