 I was brave enough to apply the pacth, to recompile the kernel and to
 intall it. Now, when I terminate OpenVPN session, the status of tap0
 interface can be viewed with ifconfig which does not dump core. Also,
 the tap0 interface can be reopened and it works. Today, I'll have a
 chance to test whether the tap0 works for three hours in a row. If
 there are problems, I will disturb the list again.

 Thank you very much.

 Cheers,
