Linux 1.3.22 compiled with gcc 2.7.0 ELF just gave me the following:

Sep 4 00:51:15 oxide kernel: Oops: 0002
Sep 4 00:51:15 oxide kernel: EIP: 0010:00118a66
Sep 4 00:51:15 oxide kernel: EFLAGS: 00010013

00000003

Looking up in zSystem.map:

001180d8 t _get_long
00118158 t _put_long
00118218 t _find_vma
00118298 t _read_long
00118388 t _write_long
001184f8 T _sys_ptrace <------- In here
00118bd8 T _syscall_trace
00118c38 T _set_bitmap
00118cf8 T _check_bitmap
00118da8 T _get_ioport_list
00118e88 T _sys_ioperm
00118f08 T _sys_iopl
00118f68 T _snarf_region
00118fa8 T _release_region
00118fe8 T _check_region

So does that mean its dieing somewhere in _syscall_ptrace?

Never done this before, so if I've supplied wrong data, somebody send me a note.
