I recently discovered the following oopses in the log file of a
proxy server (486 with 8MB RAM, still running Linux 2.0.33). I
suppose the bug has already been fixed and I'll install 2.0.35 as
soon as possible, but I'd like to know what has caused these
oopses.

It was a race in tcp_accept() which was fixed in 2.0.34 or 2.0.35
