Never could resist a patch.
This oops is new to pre-45. It didn't eat the filesystem (spare :). System is
up-to-the-usec tools/libs wise MMX-150-Overdrive. Oops is reproducable.

Well.. it still corrupts /proc/net/dev if I include ipv6 as a module. After
corruption, any process that touches proc/net/dev becomes unkillable runaway.
This Oops was generated by starting lmbench.. the latency progs were then
left in runaway mode with load at 6+. Eject ipv6, and it mostly works here.
Oops is fully reproducable evil bastard.
I removed ipv6, and was able to run lmbench ok. Afterward, I started the
byte benchmarks (does provide relative numbers) and took a nap. I awoke to
black death.. no magic keys.. doorknob dead. Fsck griped about deleted
inodes in the files byte uses to test, but fixed it ok again. (yeah Ted!)
