2.4.16 oops:

[Caleb Tennis]

Sorry if this is something that has already been addressed or if it's just a 
problem on my end - this is the first kernel oops I've ever experienced first 
hand.

Yesterday I installed 2.4.16 onto a Pentium-166 machine w/ 64 megs of ram.  
When I came in this morning, I had a backlog of a few errors from overnight.  
This is a snippet of ksymoops on my messages log:

This behavior happened again today when I was rebuilding the kernel.  It 
seems to take an hour or so of uptime before any noticable effects occur.

This is stock 2.4.16 with the ethernet bridging patch added (and loaded as a 
module).  The only other modules running are ext3 and jdb.  The machine is 
quite a few years old so the amount of extra addons to the kernel is quite 
small.

Please cc me for any replies as I only read the archived lkml.  Thanks!
