[This is a repost with some updated info.]
I am running kernel 2.0.26 with all the latest libraries. 2.0.27 also has this problem. I believe 2.0.24 did not have this bug, but I am not certain. However, I *am* certain that 2.0.0 did not have it. Using older libraries doesn't fix it.
My setup is a standard intel pentium PC with 64 M RAM, SCSI hard drives, buslogic card, etc.
The problem occurs when running the realaudio encoder software for linux. (I can make this available to you if you need it. Or get it from http://205.158.7.51/56261272/encoder/encoder21_linux.tar.Z ). Running any of the following programs (raencoder, rapaste, rax, racut) causes a segmentation fault and produces this debugging output in the syslog:

Trying to map the EIP to a function name using nm vmlinux | sort does not work, since the highest address is:
00221191 A _end
I'll be happy to help in any way. And thank you for developing an OS I can believe in. Thank you!
