This is not reproducible as I have rebooted twice since with no oops. I have had five other oopses though, all different( but I think either when a module was being loaded or unloaded, either floppy or ppp). So maybe something not initialised or a bad pointer, or maybe even some other problem with 2.1.90.
The case I posted to you was slip being loaded by diald as I have;
Mar 26 17:48:44 shawc diald[163]: Diald is dieing with code 1
I am using modutils 2.1.85
If I get something reproducible I'll post again.
