Networking: repeatable oops in 2.4.15-pre2

[J Sloan]

Hello -

I have been running the 2.4.15-pre kernels and
have found an interesting oops. I can reproduce
it immediately, and reliably, just by issuing an ssh
command (as a normal user).

Hardware: Pentium III 933 w/512 MB RAM
Red Hat 7.1+ updates

I have 2 eepro 100 cards and am running
an iptables firewall.

The condition exists in 2.4.15-pre1 and -pre2.
I have not seen this before (2.4.14 is fine)

Tonight I compiled 2.4.15-pre2 and ran dbench
for awhile, with good results.

Then I tried the simple "ssh <somehost>"cmd
that locked up -pre1 - sure enough, it locked
up the system again -

Here is the hand-copied, decoded oops:

ksymoops 2.4.3 on i686 2.4.15-pre2.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.15-pre2/ (default)
     -m /boot/System.map (specified)
