Yes, and I've seen you saying that the "kernel stack overflow" message is useless because it will never run, since the stack overflowed and then removing it altogether. Well, would you give a look at the various "kernel stack overflow" messages appearing from various users? Simply search on the ML archives (especially uml-user) to find them.
