The attached oops results from using NWFS on 2.4.15-pre7 with the
3Ware adapter.  I do not know what is happening here, but looks
like some sort of severe memory corruption.  In any event,
a very nasty looking bug.

I am looking through my code to see if I caused this, however, the
oops indicates my code does not seem to be involved in this oops.  I
have noticed of late some severe stability issues with VM in 2.4.X
and I noticed Linus addressing some problems with the compiler 
generating garbage instructions.  I do not know if this is related.

Please advise, and let me know if anyone wants me to run down further
info.  I do exercise the memory and IO subsystem a little more strenuously
than the buffer cache and perhaps I am stressing the VM in a different
way.  Could also just simply be a bug I am causing.

ksymoops 2.4.0 on i686 2.4.15-pre7.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.15-pre7/ (default)
     -m /boot/System.map-2.4.15-pre7 (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc.  ksymoops -h explains the options.

No modules in ksyms, skipping objects
Warning (read_lsmod): no symbols in lsmod, is /proc/modules a valid lsmod file?
Error (regular_file): read_system_map stat /boot/System.map-2.4.15-pre7 failed
