I can crash khttpd at will on a totally vanilla
linuxppc_2_4_devel kernel as of changeset 1.749
using an open source load generator, with or without
the patch that fixes a khttpd crash on x86
( http://www.kegel.com/linux/khttpd/khttpd-unbork.patch ).

This crash is not present on the imac with current kernels, nor
in Hard Hat 2.0 on this same board, nor on the PC with current kernels.
I believe it's a bug in the linuxppc_2_4_devel trunk.

What filesystem are you using? RAMfs?

Good point.  All the good runs were either with
ramfs or ext2/3, all the bad runs were with tmpfs.
I should vary that.

Can you try the imac using the same FS?

Will do!

FWIW, I verified that changeset 1.654 behaves badly with khttpd, too
(still with tmpfs).
