I have been using (a heavily patched) 2.4.0test9 since it was released and have not seen any problems that I can recall. Booted (vanilla) 2.4.0test11pre5 a moment ago, but after insmod ipchains.o rsh foo ping bar the machine was completely dead immediately - no ping/console change/.., no log messages - a real ping of death. (This machine would forward from foo to bar. This happened while copying a disk to another disk using dd.)
