test:

make -j6 zImage & ls -lR /

2.1.9[56]: stable
2.1.96 w/ mlord ide-2.1.96+ pat1: crashes, fs damage
2.1.97: crashes, fs damage, + error message about hdb that I forgot and
which didn't get logged.
All crashes are sysrq-interruptible (although Sync + Unmount + Boot has
still been fscking).

I know there is nothing useful here - this is just to alert people that
there is a problem with these patches/kernels. dual ppro, tyan S1668
I'd cause further crashes, but I like my filesystem the way it is... :)
