"Exception at ..." with 2.1.9 and 2.1.10 kernels

Trying to compile a 2.1.10 kernel while running either a 2.1.9 or a 2.1.10
kernel always (so far) produces a message like: "Exception at c012e340
(c0193293)". Running a 2.0.25 kernel produces no messages.

The first location is always inside getname and the second is always inside
sprintf. A closer look seems to say that the first location is inside
__strncpy_from_user.

The message always occurs at about the same point in the make.

I have no idea how significant this is.

Thanks.
