I tested the kernel pre-patch-2.0.31-3 from www.linuxhq.com
because it's got support for hardware I use. I use Debian 1.3
with upgrades for 2.1.X kernels.
Under this kernel, I'm logging errors like:

The errors have caused X to freeze up and die, but not no system crash
so far. The first time I booted this kernel, `su' and `bash' would
seg fault, but I'm haven't been able to reproduce this.
Is this worth a bug report to kernel developers? (Linus?)
What should I track down? What info should be included, and where should
the report be sent?
