Hi all, I have a problem. This is on a MPC8536 based platform with 36-bit address space and linux kernel 2.6.32 (32bit). after X time we get coredumps from userspace applications(random):
one of the coredumps: **************************************************** GNU gdb 6.8 Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

When we disable this interrupt the coredumps dissapear. I`ve tried the following patch: 78e2e68a2b79f394b7cd61e07987a8a89af907f7. But is does not fix this problem. Does some-one know what is happenging here.
