By definition, user-level, unprivileged application errors shouldn't crash the kernel. So you should really forget about your application stuff and update the kernel to the latest 2.2, as well as latest reiserfs for 2.2. Or else you're asking for trouble. Again: application stuff should not crash the kernel if the kernel is fine. So even if your apps were completely broken, the kernel should be running fine. If you're getting kernel crashes, it's the kernel at fault. *Do* update ASAP. *Really*. You know, updating the kernel is not such a big job after all. Cheers, Kuba Ober
