>okiedokey, here goes..

OK, thanks for that primer...

Have got /proc/memleak up and running and am seeing something like
335000 calls to rtl8139.c:1229 (which is a call to dev_alloc_skb())
on the way to filling up memory.

I'll hazard a guess that Harri also is running an rtl8139 for his
ethernet. True? (Something about SMP and the rtl8139 driver...)

Is there anything more I can do to pin this down further, or should I
leave this to you and Donald Becker to figure out who is doing what
to whom?

Best,
Frank Horowitz
