Hi Herbert,

The issue seems to trigger a bug whose results we have seen before. When 
starting the reproducer and stopping it shortly thereafter, I see the numerous 
identical entries in /proc/crypto:

name         : cmac(des3_ede)
driver       : cmac(des3_ede-asm)
module       : kernel
priority     : 200
refcnt       : 1
selftest     : passed
internal     : no
type         : shash
blocksize    : 8
digestsize   : 8

name         : cmac(des3_ede)
driver       : cmac(des3_ede-asm)
module       : kernel
priority     : 200
refcnt       : 1
selftest     : passed
internal     : no
type         : shash
blocksize    : 8
digestsize   : 8

name         : cmac(des3_ede)
driver       : cmac(des3_ede-asm)
module       : kernel
priority     : 200
refcnt       : 1
selftest     : passed
internal     : no
type         : shash
blocksize    : 8
digestsize   : 8

...

And this list keeps on growing without end:

# ./repro

# less /proc/crypto | wc
   9559   26456  188754

# ./repro

# less /proc/crypto | wc
  11440   31586  226032

At one point in time I think the system simply has too many entries.

Ciao
Stephan
