Hello, All !

Recently my 2.0.34 reported a numerious Oops:

current->tss.cr3 = 00101000, 8r3 = 00101000
*pde = 00001067
*pte = 00000000

This somehow happens when loading or autocleaning ppp module, I can't catch
the precise time. I hadn't this problems since I set up 2.0.34 kernel,
but now it started to happen regulary. This kills kerneld forever - the only
negative result I got. It's possible, that the root cause is in recieving
source quench packets - our provider installed the filter not a long time ago.
But I don't sure, since I can't map addresses back to source code, ksymoops
only returns empty output on this oops :(

So, the question is - is this a known bug and fixed in >2.0.34 ? Or there
is no reason to upgrade now ...

Thank you.

Bye.
