AFAI can make out, it locks up just after bringing up eth0, which is a
module on my system. The fsck following the next boot finds that module.conf
had a zero d_time (I think), so I suspect it was being read at the time of
the crash.

The screen looks really weird afterward, reminding me of ZX Spectrum crashes
in the old days :-)

I also noted that I had trouble removing a public ARP entry, inserted by:

/sbin/arp -s 10.0.0.123 -D eth0 -i eth0 pub

Removing with

/sbin/arp -d 10.0.0.123

Gives 'no such file'. This under 2.3.21, I have not investigated this
further.
