Hello!

2.3.8 panics when I try to do cat BIGFILE >/dev/null
It oppses first time, then prints
"kernel BUG at buffer.c:1218!"
And then another oops, this time in swapper occurs,
in the same place as previous.
And after complain 'Aiee, killing interrupt handler
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill idle task!
In swapper task - not syncing'
system hangs. Not VT switches.
Alt-SysRq U/S result in another oops
The oops is very same as one I reported yesterday with 2.3.8-pre2

Bye,
Oleg
