I think a program can only cause a kernel panic if you run it as root.
If you run mldonkey as root its your fault. Never run a program as root if you
dont need it.
If you can make a Linux kernel panic with a program its a security hole.
Normally a damaged hardware causes a kernel panic and not the software.

Summary: mlnet causes kernel panic
Original Submission: mlnet seems to periodically cause a kernel panic (not
when booting, just at seemingly random times when the computer is already on),
the computer is a XP1800/512mb RAM, and is running RedHat 9, kernel 2.4.20-8.
My /var/log/messages file is attached, you can find the text of the kernel
panic inside it. Notice that it happens right after an SSH session to the
computer is closed, could that be related? (In the log, it shows up as a "su",
but I was logged in over SSH and I used "su" to gain root permissions.)
I rebooted the computer with the on/off switch once I noticed the kernel
panic, I left everything after the kernel panic in the log (the reboot is all
there is, I think), in case that helps you with anythig.
Please fix this, MLdonkey is useless to me while this problem remains unfixed :)
