Umm, Linus, should 2.1.118 really fix the crash I did report?

Well, it doesn't. I get exactly the same backtrace (minus address differences)
now:

|EIP: 0010:[<C0180B4C>] apm_get_event+0x28
|Call Trace: C0181100 do_apm_timer
| C0180F74 get_event+0x10

| C0109CA0 ret_from_intr
| C4923000 ??? unknown
| C0108A00 __switch_to+0x68
(this points to the opcode right after the lldt call)

Or should drivers/char/apm_bios.c be fixed with exceptionhandlers or
something like it?

The only difference between the vanilla kernel and mine is that mine
does 100 times more APM timerinterrupts (1/100 s) to show the bug.

(BTW: Mingo's first patch *DID* fix the problem.)

Ciao, Marcus
