| regression tools that I pulled out of the grsecurity.net cvs and tested on a PaX patched kernel AND a kernel that I'm working a bit on (without pax), neither should oops. I don't readily reboot to run vanillas. This is a NULL dereference INSIDE the kernel, right? Something's broke, and it does this on 2.6.1-rc2 so whatever it is is probably still broke.

Yes, it's a NULL reference inside (some) kernel.

1. Please wrap email lines around 70-72 characters.

2. What kernel version is this? What patches applied?

3. This is the 3rd oops for this kernel. What were the first 2?

4. Please use CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y so that addresses will be
converted to symbols, or run the oops thru ksymoops.
