Debian system
Kernel 2.1.123-3
devfs addon

This was caused while trying to access the soundblaster. In this case
using the 'saytime' utility; however; any access to /dev/audio will
cause a segfault/oops. (all modules needed are loaded)

I can duplicate this over and over again; presumabely until I reboot.
I'll refrain from doing so; as I don't need the SB at the moment. I'm
also gone for 2 weeks in 24 hours; if you need more info, please let
me know.. tks

Do note; it's very possible this is a devfs problem; but as I'm about
to leave; I thought i'd make general mention of it..
