Hello Dear,
every night my linux host dials up the university and starts news and
mail transfer. About once per week pppd crashes while being connected
for some time with the following Oops. After this diald and pppd is no
longer able to start a new connection (pppd keeps failing with 'Fatal
signal 11'). After several dialup retries (triggered by diald) linux
crashes or hangs followed by panic reboot or software watchdog reboot.
After reboot everything is ok again. Up to now this had happened with
Linux 2.0.3 and 2.0.6.
Anybody else seen this? What's wrong? Tell me, if you need more info.
Thanks in advance.

PS: This kernel oops is from Linux 2.0.6; ppp, slip and slhc loaded as
modules (without kerneld); bsd_comp module not used.
