> trivial scripts that reliably, repeatably, crash Linux-2.6.5 ... My particular specific example today is as follows. The udf.ko folk have kindly volunteered to chase this fact in parallel, in a thread those subscriber-only archives title "x687334 received when xBA687334 sent". I imagine I the newbie could help more if I could trace the start of the crash, rather than only the end. But ssh of `tail -f /var/log/messages` tells me nothing. I see messages only if I run the script via ssh with the console left dedicated to dumping messages. Because of the scroll I only see the last of the messages, not the first of them. Transcribed by hand, they were something like: ... b_state=0x00000010, b_size=2048 block=18446744073709551615, b_blocknr=4294967294 ... block=18446744073709551615, b_blocknr=4294967294 b_state=0x00000010, b_size=2048 ...
