Thx for your report. I looked a little bit at the the call stack but it is=
=20
really hard to guess the functions when you don't have the symbol table. It=
=20
looks a little bit like most of the functions are kernel thread/scheduling=
=20
related. Only one function <c00c8650> is  from a module. Can you please sen=
d=20
the /proc/modules file so we can find in which module it is so we can check=
 if=20
it could be a batgat related. Further investigations could be done by check=
ing=20
the symbols of batgat.ko with nm - but this would not help very much becaus=
e=20
it is stripped down. Maybe someone else has a good idea.

Now to something you said on the nightwing mailing list:

e in

If you mean me (Lazhur on irc) then I have to say that I am not a developer=
=20
nor a spokesman of b.a.t.m.a.n. and I never confirmed that it is batgat rel=
ated=20
=2D only that something crashed/lock up.
I cannot find any crash related bug fixes in the batgat trunk directory - s=
o it=20
doesn't seem to be a known problem (if it is a batgat problem at all).

Best regards
