Interesting. Maybe you should report it as a Kernel bug.
I have never done this - maybe its complicated. :)

=================== BUG #5100: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT ===================
Submitted by: pilot1 Project: mldonkey, a free e-Donkey client

Category: Core Severity: 5 - Major

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 :)

Well, I'm not running mlnet as root, and I'm getting a kernel panic within 6
hours after starting it.
It may be a conflict with my hardware, but I have no idea what it would be
conflicting with. I've tried compiling a new kernel, but it always fails during
'make modules'

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.
