Fact is that two kernels, the one Alex built from linux-cvs and the one
which I built yesterday for myself, both significantly different and both
2.1.91 derived, crashed. Each time disassembling showed that somehow a NULL
pointer ended up in the SCSI scatter-gather lists which where passed to
dma_setup in the sgiwd93. No idea why; I've never seen that bug myself.
