But can somebody explain what is the matter for this bug ? I get the divide
overflow in getslowtimeoffset. I looked in timer.c but found nothing
improper. The other solution I found is running some program, that jumps to
getslowtimeoffset very often. For example, xclock. ( I didn't find any other
program, that can do it ). May be some counter is becoming too big in
division. I found out, that there required about half on hour for system to
go nuts. It was 2.0.18 kernel.
