I noticed that subsequent calls to kmem_cache_create with the same name
does not return an -EEXIST return code, but instead barfs and crashes
with a bug at slab.c line 804.  This occurs in 2.4.3.

Is this the expected behavior for kmem_cache_create?  I am using 
the slab allocator to create and maintain buffer head chains for 
asynch I/O.
 
I would assume that if a valid tag existed, an error would be returned 
rather than the system crashing.   I see the problem unloading then 
reloading the module on 2.4.3.  

Thanks,

Jeff
