Everything is running on a debian (stable) system, 3.0r3, so the older GCC is
actually 2.95.4 (sorry for the typo in my original message), and the new one
(installed from testing because I need it for Xen) is GCC 3.3.4. I am using
the stock 2.4.26 kernel, and UML patch uml-patch-2.4.26-3.bz2, along with
UML tools uml_utilities_20040406.tar.bz2.
Here is the end of the console:
Initializing stdio console driver
Netdevice 0 : TUN/TAP backend -
NET4: Linux TCP/IP 1.0 for NET4.0
IP Protocols: ICMP, UDP, TCP
IP: routing cache hash table of 512 buckets, 4Kbytes

NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Mounted devfs on /dev
INIT: version 2.84 booting
And here is the backtrace from gdb:

Given that from_ptr is being reported as 0x11 in the arguments to sc_to_sc()
I am assuming that the argument actually got overwritten by something else
(most likely the signal number). The point of failure is where the kernel is
trying to start 'init', as can be seen from this:
(gdb) frame 7
#7 0xa0093153 in copy_thread_tt (nr=0, clone_flags=2694020392, sp=0,
stack_top=0, p=0xa0934000, regs=0x0) at process_kern.c:305
305 UPT_SC(¤t->thread.regs.regs));
(gdb) print p.comm
$4 = "init\0er\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"

Never underestimate a Mage with:

- the Constitution to survive the first hit, and
- the Dexterity to run fast enough to avoid being hit a second time.
