    I have a test program much shorter then the Oops
    If someone wants to work from a Oops I will send
    one, no maintainer was listed and the last Google
    reference is about 2 years back, and it does not
    seem to be about this issue.

    This Oops both 2.4.22 and 2.6.0-test11
    It results from a ARCH=um bugreport and
    I kept making the test program shorter
    This seems silly but one line to Oops?

    /* test2 program to Oops shmfs mounted at /dev/shm */
    /* yes it is dumb but unprivileged users should not be able */
    /* to Oops the kernel regardless of how dumb the program */
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <dirent.h>
    main()
    {/* off 0 is "." off 1 is ".." off 2 is empty */
            seekdir(opendir("/dev/shm"), (off_t) 2);
    }
