At first I thought it was just me when I reported the lockups I was
having with test12 earlier this week. Now the reports are flooding. Of
course, now my machine isn't locking up anymore after recompiling from a
clean source tree (test5 w/ patches through test12)

Now, I'm trying to determine what the common element is.

Those of you who are having lockups, was test12 compiled from a patched
tree that you've previously compiled?

Those that are locking up in X. Do you have a second machine you can
hook up via serial port to grab Oops output?

I've got KDB compiled in my current kernel. I'll compile a fresh kernel
without KDB and see how long I last when I get a chance.

I tried the submitted patch for ip_fragment.c, and there's still
no joy on that one unstable machine in my sample set.  At this
point, I should probably go back through all the pre-12 patches
and see if the problem scope can be narrowed a bit.
