You are perfectly at liberty to send invalidly checksummed packets. I

Indeed
Hi,
coda does not compile.
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/home/oliver/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686
-malign-functions=4 -fno-strict-aliasing -DMODULE -c -o upcall.o upcall.c
upcall.c: In function `coda_waitfor_upcall':
It appears to be sending init a signal causes the oops. I have been mucking
with my inittab and trying to reload it, i.e. kill -1 1, and that causes the
kernel to oops and kills my bash.
Here is my oops output, note I also get the oops on reboot/halt are we off by
one somewhere?
ksymoops 2.3.4
Just set the advertised MSS to 1476, all will be well.

Ok, looking better. I havent been able to forcibly corrupt my mailboxes
like I did before. Yet anyways. I left my machine for about 10 mins and
came back and noticed this...
