[1.] One line summary of the problem:

Trouble with 2.3.7 and big files.

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

I compiled 2.3.7 and dos fs and ncp stuff did not compile. I turned them
off and compilation succeeded. Next thing I tried was to test new kernel
with solid server. I started solid server with 1.5G database and kernel
panic occured. From that I could not get any information as there was
nothing in /var/log/messages. Next thing after reboot to try was to
unzip 400M file. Output from that is below. Kernel did not crash but it
reported bug in kernel.

[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):

Propably fs.

[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):

2.3.7

[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)
