mtu/mru 296 most unhealthy!



I was just reading a recent thread on debian-user which suggested
changing the PPP mtu/mru to 296 for better performance. I did this,
and well I wouldn't call this an improvement! The local end of the link
is running linux 2.0.34 and I think it's going to crash any minute now:

In the syslog:

Sep 11 11:49:09 silly last message repeated 150 times
Sep 11 11:49:09 silly kernel: k on freelist at 01136808 isn't free.
Sep 11 11:49:09 silly kernel: Problem: block on freelist at 01136808 isn't free.
Sep 11 11:49:33 silly last message repeated 154 times

Trying to run things gives various versions of the above plus
the occasional socket: no more data space, plus once "no more processes".

Time to upgrade the kernel -- will this go away?
I also use BSD compression on the link.
