I've found a couple of bugs so far...

1. I did `modprobe kvm' and then tried running a version of the KVM Qemu
compiled for a different kernel.  My mistake.  But I got an oops:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008
 printing eip:
f91f9c3f
*pde = 00000000

Oh, and I get a ton of these messages with kvm:

rtc: lost some interrupts at 1024Hz.

2. I'm not sure if this bug is in the kernel, wireless tools, or the
ipw3945 driver, but I haven't changed the version of anything but the
kernel.  When I do `iwconfig eth1 essid foobar' something drops the
last character of the essid, and a subsequent `iwconfig eth1' shows
"fooba" as the essid.  And it's actually set as "fooba", since I had
to do `iwconfig eth1 essid MyUsualEssid_' (note underscore) to get on
to my usual network.
