I was trying to find out how the "slab" package should be used with
my SoundBlaster 32. During that I had two complete kernel lockups 8-((
In X the mouse suddenly stopped moving, and every process was held
immediately. No console switching possible, no numlock, etc.
After reset and fsck, the syslock had a few "Sound: Recording
overrun" messages before the thing stopped, but about 30 seconds
passed until lock up.
I suspect that the error condition is not correctly handled in the
sound driver. Of course this bug gives a very bad reputation to Linux
reliability. Maybe try to find a workaround quickly.

Ulrich Windl
