Hi. I logged into my 1.3.27 box and after I typed the first command which
happened to be 'w' at this time, I got the following Oops message(it
didn't completely crash, just oopsed on me):

nm vmlinux yields:
...
00127320 T get_write_access
00127390 T put_write_access
...

And from system.map the closest I've got to the offending calls is:

...
0011d170 T do_open
0011d2f0 T sys_open <---
0011d350 T sys_creat <---
0011d370 T close_fp
... and
0010a390 t reschedule
0010a3a0 T system_call <---
0010a440 T ret_from_sys_call
...

I have a gateway 2000 486dx2, 16 megs, and I do have tcsh as my login
shell if that is of any relevancy in here('cause I saw you've been having
some minor probs with it or something in the kernel pertaining to its
use). I am not sure how to reproduce it but I do know that it never
happened with 1.2.13 which I also run... Thank you.

p.s. I hope I sent the right info. If I haven't someone please let me
know as to what I should include next time or what did I do wrong. I love
Linux so I want to help as best as possible.
