I was able to reproduce it with following simple sequence of events:
#(while true; do true; done)>/dev/zero
As soon as I interrupt this, do_cpu oops happened. Problem occurs
somewhere in signeal handlin code. I didn't investoigate further yet, as
for what I am doing at the moment it is not a problem.
What is a problem, is memory leak in 2.5.47. Every time *any* process is forked,
system permenently looses few K of memory. Modifying above loop to run
cat</proc/meminfo will bring down system to its knees in about 5-10 minutes.
