Hello list,


for some reason, the Freebsd (5.3) kernel crashes whenever I do "simple 
operations", in conjunction with a (self-written) kernel module.

I have trimmed the original program down from approx 120 KB to the 7 KB (lots 
of spacing and tabs :) to follow the common advise to find the shortest 
codepiece showing the problem.
Well, you can retrieve the short prog at http://linux01.org/~jengelh/BUG.tbz2
Both files (rpldev.c and rpld.c) seem perfectly fine, but ...
see rpld.c for the details of the crash.

Hope someone can shed some light on this.

Thanks,
Jan Engelhardt
