It looks the same in 2.6.0-test3. The patch applies (with small offsets) and works (the oops is much harder to trigger in 2.6.x since PROC_NDYNAMIC is increased to 16384, I had to reduce it to 4096 to trigger the oops). -- Eran Mann Senior Software Engineer MRV International Tel: 972-4-9936297 Fax: 972-4-9890430 www.mrv.com
