pre-2.0.34-2 breaks DOS-Emu, strace and gdb and shows many other
instabilities. I've got several kernel panics in safe_wake_up_process
which is introduced by the patch. Also, I got sporadical data corruption
with loop filesystems, but I'm not yet sure if this is also due to that
patch.

Please try stock 2.0.33.
