NTFS module is buggy

The following causes the kernel to reboot (eventually) on most
machines I've tried it on... (variable: state of the filesystem)

mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /nt
cd /nt
find . -type f -exec md5sum {} \;

At first I thought this was network card related,
but now I think that NTFS (compiled for read only) is corrupting
memory, including network buffers.
(Cards it definately crashes with: eepro RTL8139)

Sorry, I don't have a panic message.
I think I get one, but the machine reboots immediately.
I can probably try serial console, but I suspect it might
reboot before the buffers clear.
