Hello, 
I am a working with Dawson Englers meta compilation group at Stanford. 
Here is a patch for sis_main.c  Basically the patch checks to see 
if kmalloc returns null.  This patch applies to kernel version 2.4.4

Thanks,
Christopher Kanaan

Great, but why not follow Documentation/CodingStyle, and the example set
by the rest of the file?!

Instead of:

Something like this:

        if (heap.pohFreeList == NULL) {
                poha = kmalloc(OH_ALLOC_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL);
 
+               if (!poha) {
+               	return(NULL);
+               }
+
                poha->pohaNext = heap.pohaChain;
                heap.pohaChain = poha;
