Hiya,
        Having trouble with machine crashes on my pals machine, I decided 
to roll my own kernel.  I got vanilla 2.4.17 and applied the SGI XFS patch 
for XFS filesystems, which I use.  I know, I know  unsupported 
combination.  Anyway, LDM and this kernel did not get along at all.  The 
base system is RedHat 7.2, which is fully updated as of now.
        I recompiled LDM as well while on 2.4.17.

Here are the errors.  These would occur a while after starting LDM..  It 
would crash LDM and corrupt the queue.

file "pq.c", line 4070

failed: file "pq.c", line 4070

        I am back running 2.4.14-SGI_XFS_1.0.2smp and LDM is fine, but my 
machine will crash every 7-10 days or so.

        Don't worry too much about my report, I thought that I would just 
pass along my experience for anyone else that may see this behaviour...  I 
am going to test some more with 2.4.17 vanilla on a spare box and see what 
happens...

Thanks!
  Daryl
