Re: [Bug 15076] System panic under load with clockevents_program_event

I'm afraid it freezed even without HIGHMEM. I left computer run
(compilation KDE 4.3.95) and when I come back, lcd was in dpms mode
and led was blinking. So it look like same problem. Maybe without
HIGHMEM it takes longer until problem appear.
