1. Problem: "runlist in extended record"

2. I telnet remotely, logged on as SU and ran the find command
(see 6.). The machine stopped responding and I couldn't get the
telnet prompt. When I wen to check the machine found the message
in 1. displyed continuously. After rebooting the machine I tried
again from the console and the problem occured again. The
machine hadn't crashed as I was able to telnet but the telnet
prompt didn't come up (CPU too busy outputting the error
message?).

3. File system?

4. Linux version 2.2.2 (gcc version 2.7.2.3)

5. Output of Oops is attached (output1 and the_oops.txt)

6. The problem occured when I ran find. I tried it several times
and the problem kept occuring.
find / -name mf

7. ENVIRONMENT:
Consol, under tcsh. This is an output of ps aux at the moment of
the crash:

Options used: -V (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.2.2/ (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-m /usr/src/linux/System.map (default)
-c 1 (default)

You did not tell me where to find symbol information. I will assume
that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running right now
and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc. ksymoops -h explains the options.

No modules in ksyms, skipping objects
