When starting RedHat 8.1 beta Phoebe on a dual P3 system, httpd causes an oops
in the kernel.  After that point, the machine continues to work, but httpd is
stuck in the kernel, unkillable, consuming 100% of one CPU (/proc/pid/cpu
confirms it is locked down on one CPU, it doesn't alternate.)

This is a stock build kernel, and the machine has 1 GB of RAM:
