   I am running linux now for quite a while, but after upgrading to the
   latest kernels, I started to have a very annoying problem.
   Everything runs fine for hours, and then all of sudden the following
   sequence of events crashes the machine:

   a.) Usually nobody is logged in

   b.) uucico dials out and terminates with an
              ERROR: got busy signal

   c.) The kernel crashes with the following message...

This bug has been fixed by the latest serial patches. See my recent
posting on the subject, or ftp to tsx-11:/pub/linux/ALPHA/serial, and
read the README file contained in that directory.
