Description of problem:
 installed kernel-2.2.19-6.2.10 on an Athlon 700 with two ide hard drives
running software raid1.  After about a day of use many operations that
involved reading files would seg fault.  grep and cat would both seg fault
if I cated a file larger than about 5 megs. mutt too would seg fault.  The
only kernel module loded at the time was the network card and raid1.  Since
the problem seemed to be related to reading from the disk and other people
using this kernel are not having this problem I am going out on a limb to
say it was the raid1 module.  Unfortunatly there were no logs or messages
generated during this peroid.  A reboot fixed the problem but it came back
after a day of uptime.  As this is a production box I had to roll back to
kernel-2.2.17-14.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot my box running software raid1 with kernel-2.2.19-6.2.10
2. wait a day


Actual Results:  things seg faulting left and right when accessing some
files.  cat grep mutt and su all triggered this

Expected Results:  a stable computer
