We are discussing a bug in the scan state machine in another thread,
which could have nasty consequences in not caught.  And I don't quite
understand why my system was catching it immediately, maybe because I'm
using gcc 4.4, which has array bounds checking.

I have also seen two oopses in the code unrelated to wireless
networking, one of which lead to my .bash_history becoming empty.

So please be extra careful.  It would be great if somebody could test
the current kernel extensively with kmemcheck an other options and
bisect the bad commit, whether it's wireless related or not.
