The 8K stack selection does not change this, it just means that if there is a problem it'll randomly blow up when the heavy IRQ user and the heavy non-IRQ user occur at the right moments. If this still occurs for some combinations then the fix would be 8K + 4K IRQ stack, not just to use 8K stack Alan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
