Compliments for the catch! I had been trying uselessly to find the bug inside 
the shm code(I had found that which was the invalid pointer, but nothing 
after that)...

Are you going to send that for 2.4.24? That one will be the last 2.4 kernel...
In the meantime, I think that people at http://www.hardrock.org/ will be happy 
of it... it's the -uv tree(not very famous, maybe, but even kerneltrap.org 
speaks about it).

By the way: if this is the problem, then why didn't the kernel oops on /proc 
reads? Isn't it a memory based fs, too?
