Bug 198780

Reproducable here, same kernel version.

Getting nasty error messages to screen.

Very reproducable during a kernel compile, selinux is disabled on this system.

If you're getting it during a kernel compile, it's probably from a different
process type - what's the Process, and is there any more detail in the call trace?

it's caused by Rolands new utrace/ptrace stuff.

Jul 13 08:38:45 localhost kernel:  <1>Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!

seems to be cc1, also happens for make and as.

I don't doubt that it's my fault, but I'm having trouble reproducing this.
I'm going with 1.2401_fc6 and not worrying about last week's kernel.
But if it is due to my new code, nothing in there has changed since 1.2380_fc6.
Is there anything specific that's reliable for you?  I only have one test
machine on which I can really try this, but so far it hasn't shown any problems
with the 1.2401.fc6PAE kernel, either booting or miscellaneous stress like doing
a compile.

if it helps at all, the rhel5 kernel 1.2391.el5 on my x86_64 box dies before it
finishes booting.

*** Bug 199566 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Please verify whether this problem still appears using 1.2428.fc6 or later, or
is now gone.  (Recommend 1.2431.fc6 in fact, as that should also fix bug #199014.)

bug seems to be dead afaics.
