Hello list,

During testing, I found out, that a simple program can crash the linux
kernel, even when run as unprivileged user. The crash happened in an
ubuntu-precise i386 guest machine. Running the same program on same
kernel-version host system does nothing.

Has someone the time to download a test program [1], compile it using
"gcc -o RtcInt RtcInt.c" and run it, e.g. as user nobody in a linux
guest? I'm interested, if just my installation is broken or if there
is really a problem in linux kernel or vbox.
