Hi Udo,

yes i think that is the way we could catch it (i mean compiling everything
until bug happens ;) the patch i send you is quite stupid and based on my
feelings that we have problem with dcache but maybe i just wrong...
dunno...lets just try ;) and could you please send your config to me and
LKML too.
