I will try not to be rude, however it woild seem that so many people
only send messages to this list when they have a problem themselfs
and dont read any of the other messages, that we have a good example
of here in this mail.
2.2.13 came out last week, 3@4 weeks before that there was a small
discussion about this very subject being solved in one of
the 2.2.13pre patches, by one of the leading linux ax25 maintainers,
all that here on this list.
There have been numours disscussons over the past months.
Now to answer your question yes it will lock up but normaly only if
there are ax25 or netrom connects at the time of killing kissattach,
The bug has been there right from the start apparently, but only
started poping up last year around 2.0.3X, now its finaly gone in
2.2.13. I suggest you either read more linux hams mails or take a
look at the linux-hams-archive at;
http://hes.iki.fi/archive/linux-hams
And certanly retrive either a new full kernel source tree, or patch
from your local linux mirror site.
Of course if you recompile a new kernel 2.1.13 and you then find you
still have that problem there are surely a lot of folks here who would
like to know about it.
