Hi, I got this oops when trying to access a particular newsgroup
with emacs gnus, under 2.1.65, on a Pentium 133

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 1cca802c
current->tss.cr3 = 00922000, %cr3 = 00922000

I also have had other problems with emacs gnus freezing the system. Only
Alt-SysRq-E can awake it, but the machine is really instable then.
The news server is inn_1.4unoff4-1, if this can help

Thank you

P.S. If other infos are needed (e.g. cat /proc/some/file) please mail me
