The list initializations MUST appear before any code path can see inet6_create() and friends. I simply cannot see how this crash is even possible. Also, the original bug reporter cannot provide an inet6.o image that matches any of his OOPS traces, so we cannot analyze this bug properly. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
