Hi Ingo. I have some programs that crash in 2.6.12-rc2-mm3. After seeing this: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0504.1/1091.html I tried to revert the sched-unlocked-context-switches.patch and indeed the problem goes away. Attached is the (crappy) test-case. If you can make it to say "All OK" then the problem is solved. Apparently the %fs gets trashed somewhere, any ideas?
