Actually this has already been tracked down.  It seems that if you call a 
system call in UML which is in the range of acceptable system calls and which 
has not been set to sys_ni_syscall then it will give that result.

The interim solution is to set any unimplemented system calls that your 
programs will call (223 for me) to sys_ni_syscall.

But this still means that it will be common for UML kernels to have some 
sys-calls which applications can call to crash them (not good for honey-pot 
machines).
