Well, something "interesting" is certainly going on because our 2.6.11.7 kernel *does* work and *does not* crash when running user space applications. It runs BusyBox quite happily with multiple processes (e.g. 3 incoming telnet sessions, a console shell, etc.). I can only conclude that there is something more to our 2.6.11.7-based patch than I currently understand. Cheers! Walt
