Not sure if anyone is interested, but it has been discovered that it is
possible to crash any Gentoo box by any user running these kernels (Not
sure if it applies to other distributions):
* Linux 2.6.x
o Linux 2.6.7-rc2
o Linux 2.6.6 (vanilla)
o Linux 2.6.6 SMP (verified by riven)
o Linux 2.6.5-gentoo (verified by RatiX)
o Linux 2.6.5-mm6 - (verified by Mariux)
* Linux 2.4.2x
o Linux 2.4.26 vanilla
o Linux 2.4.26-rc1 vanilla
o Linux 2.4.26-gentoo-r1
o Linux 2.4.22
I verified it by crashing my laptop ;-)
