The function in which the crash occurred has been largely rewritten for Linux 3.1, so if the bug is there then it has quite possible been fixed by that. Since you say this is not reproducible, I don't think there's much point bothering the upstream maintainers to chase this down now. I'll leave the bug report open in case you or anyone else finds a way to reproduce it. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings No political challenge can be met by shopping. - George Monbiot
