I'm not really much of a coder, so I can't say what was wrong with it, only what the symptoms were and how to get it to screw up whenever I wanted to test for it. (See previous messages for how to do this) If Rik van Riel/Marcelo Tosatti/anyone wants to have me gather information on what is going on just before/after the kernel dies I'll do it - just tell me how to, and I'll push it along :) Thanks a bunch Linus, Tim
