Could you please double-check that you didn't get any rejects or that
the kernel compilation went ok? The 1.3.32 patches are pretty much
totally insignificant, with the exception of the NFS code. So if 1.3.31
was stable for you, 1.3.32 _should_ also be ok.
Do you NFS-mount anything? If you don't, I'd really like you to try to
do a "make clean" and re-make your kernel just to make sure it's not
something like that. Because I can't see anything in the code that
should make any difference..
