kernel 2.4.2 OOPS (in add_entropy_words ?)

Hi,

I got the following OOPS yesterday while simultaneously doing a big 'rpm
-U' and a big computation (magma.exe) on an SMP i686 machine. I copied
the OOPS down by hand from the console, but it should be accurate. When
running ksymooops, I don't know that I reconstructed the module stack
completely, but I don't believe any modules are implicated in the trace.

Any suggestions would be welcome. Of particular interest is how to tell
whether this is an 'off by one bit' error implicating the memory. More
information about the machine is obviously available, I just thought this
is the relevant part.

Cheers,
Wayne
