Hi Jon,

Look at the EIP: the address is b3. That's not something in the kernel
space. Actually, I did run it through ksymoops automatically before I
noticed the EIP myself:

> $ ksymoops /boot/System.map-2.0.31-10-2 < /tmp/dump

I couldn't see any other addresses in the whole thing that made any sense,
which is where the comment in the original message about Kansas and Dorathy
came from.

I've a _LOT_ of respect for the contributions you make to Linux, but it
seems you're getting a bit tired and grumpy... get some sleep! :)

Regards,

Chris.
