[Description snippage]

I've been getting something similar since about 2.11x. I poisted here some
time ago when it appeared to be only SCSI CD related & verified my hardware
wasn't the problem. It's been getting worse and worse with new kernels, but
I noticed that once I upgraded to a currentish egcs & 2.1.128 the system is
unusable - lockups under any load, any use of sg and sr_mod, any use of the
es1370 driver. My 2.1.101 compiled with egcs 1.0.3 still works, so I'm
going to try the recommended version of gcc and see what happens.
