The kernel is pre2.0.6. With Becker's v0.25 of 3c59x.c driver. With
tagged queueing enabled in aic7xxx.c.
The first time, 108 compiles were managed before the machine died. The
second time, 30ish. I'm currently chasing the possibility of a hardware
fault (again!), and wouldn't post this unless the 2 crashes obtained had
an identical EIP and identical trace... not to mention very similar
register/stack dumps.
So here they are..

Same EIP and call trace as above.
Hope this helps. If it looks reminiscent of dodgy hardware despite
similarity of crashes, please reply and say so since I can drag out the 24
hour on-site call out engineer again!!
cheers,
Chris.
