I am not using the ISDN code, but I experience the same problem. First
with kernel 2.0.7, then tried with 2.0.10, without success. Since my
last kernel (1.2.13) did work, I started playing... err compling and
applying patches...
After ten or so tries I discovered that kernel V1.3.60 works, but
V1.3.61 doesn't. So it might be somewhere in patch-1.3.61 ???
I can duplicate the problem very quick when I stress the kernel
buffers by doing an if=/dev/zero of=output bs=4k count=40960 . So it
seems to me that many fast successive disk operations bring up this
failure.

BTW: Applying these patches and compiling actually took me only some
few minutes in total :) so I'm not a insane as it might look...
