Well there may be a bug in the glibc causing a problem with the stack frame, but anyway the fact that you can crash a kernel from userland is a bug in the kernel, and even a security bug as it is basically a local DoS. > More information is available at > http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2008-02/msg00011.html >From the kernel dump, it looks like the crash occurs in kernel mode (bit KX of the CP0 Status enabled). A bad address from userland should kill the process with a SIGBUS. -- .''`.
