Hi there,

For a long time, I experienced Oops with 2.4.0-testxx-prexx. I've reported
several Oops. With every patch, the system crashes with a Oops and is frozen.
The attached Oops was recorded by hand. Even the 'magic keys' are not working.
After booting the sytem, the filesystem is corrupted with lot of stuff in the
/lost+found. The system is stable with 2.2.18prexx.

I've attached :
 - the raw Oops
 - the Oops processed by ksymoops
 - data about my configuration
 - reflexions about the suspected program

1 - raw Oops

4 - suspected program 
---------------------
I'm an hamradio. So I use ax25 and hamradio stuff. I run several programs ,
daemons and drivers related to this activity.
I use a so called 'terminal program' called TNT. And there is a daemon called
'ulistd' which monitor the radio channel which extract data from incoming
frames from a local BBS.
When I start TNT alone with the required drivers, I have not the Oops or only
after several hours up. If I start TNT and, in the same script 'ulistd' (like
with 2.2.18pre), I get the Oops as soon as the daemon is started. 

I've found some informations (very few in the system log) : 
When I start TNT, I've the message : 
kernel: tnt uses obsolete (PF_INET,SOCK_PACKET)

When I start ulistd (ONLY with 2.4.0.testxx-prexx), I've the following message :
ax25_sendmsg(): ulistd uses obsolete socket structure

ulistd is part of a package called 'linpac', ulistd is part of ax25mail-utils,
it can be found at : http://www.stud.fee.vutbr.cz/~xburge01/linpac. The author
is Radek Burget.

Remark : even if the problem is with ulistd, I think it is not very polite for
a well educated operating system to suicide when there is a problem.  ;-)
