I got the following OOPSen running 2.4.0-test9-pre7; I hope it can be of use for someone. Also, this kernel has an odd problem: fsck sometimes gets stuck when rebooting after crash. The drive light occationally flashes (not on solid as it usually is!) but nothing seems to happen in the end

I tried booting 2.4.0-test9-pre7 today on my work machine for the first time, and it hung up when one of my user programs was started. The process "receiver_d" uses sockets and shared memory and has worked without problems for years with many kernel versions up through 2.4.0-test9-pr
