Subject: BUG in pty_chars_in_buffer with 2.6.30 git head using ssh
Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2009 11:09:34 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1244909374.5323.23.camel@mulgrave.site> (raw)
This is a really odd one. I've used ssh into this box with this same
kernel several times before, I got this (actually logged out as me over
ssh then logged back in as root):
ssh used greatest stack depth: 5340 bytes left
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

And the machine wedged hard.
ssh had got part way to establishing a connection from the other machine
according to netstat -a.
On reboot, I was able to log in as root perfectly fine.
