I pressed Enter before filling in details - this is what I get on some UML 
versions at startup. Specifically, I get it on -bb3, and on versions based on 
it, on startup. I've tried removing the patches I've added to -bb3 and it 
still does not work, which is not nice.

However, I've now discovered that it only happens when CONFIG_STATIC_LINK is 
enabled - that makes the kernel die. The interesting thing is that it becomes 
unkillable - but at least we have some clue that this one is not a new bug in 
-bb3 (at least it seems). I'll go reproducing it in vanilla 2.6.9 if I have 
time.
