Once something has trashed the dentry list, the system has no good way
to recover. So the first oops will lead to many more to follow ...
I haven't been able to find out what's causing the list to be trashed.
If you spot a pattern to the problem (e.g. "every time I use ppp I get
an oops within 10 minutes") I'd appreciate any further clues.
