SubjectBUG in pty_chars_in_buffer with 2.6.30 git head using ssh
From
Date
This is a really odd one.  I've used ssh into this box with this same
kernel several times before, I got this (actually logged out as me over
ssh then logged back in as root):

ssh used greatest stack depth: 5340 bytes left
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

And the machine wedged hard.

ssh had got part way to establishing a connection from the other machine
according to netstat -a.

On reboot, I was able to log in as root perfectly fine.
