Maybe someone's already aware of this, or perhaps it's fixed in 2.3.13-pre, but I've not seen it mentioned (which doesn't mean it wasn't, of course).. Err..
I was running tin compiled with electric fence - lots mmap()ing going on - and got a total lockup, no response to pings, sysrq, nothing. Strangely similar to what happened with that mmap / msync exploit someone posted recently.
Of course, it could also be due to the horrible heat and a potentially dodgy CPU fan, but the temperature alarms haven't gone off (yet).
What else might relevant? Kernel compiled with egcs-1.1.2, for UP. I'll try with 2.3.13-preN and see what happens.
