Last night I got an oops while ftping approx 30mb of files.
Both PCs are running 2.2.10-ac12
NICs in both PCs are DEC 21140's.

The oops occured on the PC that was receiving the files,
during the copy of a 19mb file.

After the oops, the PC stayed up, but was very unstable.
I tried to compile ksymoops, but got more oopses.
(These didn't end up in the logs).
I rebooted, recompiled, and this is the output :-

Options used: -V (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.2.10-ac12/ (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-m /boot/System.map-2.2.10-ac12 (specified)
-c 1 (default)

I tried to repeat the problem, but it didn't happen again.
