Anyone seen a crash like this?  I was restarting my user-space

I'll dig into it more when I get a chance, but let me know
if someone is already working on this...

The only crash in wext I ever saw was recently with compat but I don't
think that looked similar.

I guess you don't have CONFIG_COMPAT, but in that case I think so much
gets inlined into wext_handle_ioctl() that I have no idea what could
possibly crash. Disassembly of the place that crashed (preferably with
-S if you have it) would be useful.

It might have been some issue with just copying over modules.  I installed
a full kernel and the crash went away..at least for a bit.  System crashed
while I was driving home, but serial console is at work..so will check it
later to see if it was the same issue.

I'll build w/debug and dis-assemble it if the problem persists.

Thanks,
Ben
