[LinuxPPS] LinuxPPS 5.3.1 test report :-(

[George Spelvin]

I have to meet someone, but I tried to use my old v4.1.0 with Linux 2.6.26,
and setserial hardpps crashed the machine.

Okay, so I got the latest 5.3.1, and observed that when I ran the second
ppsldisc, kaboom!  Kernel panic.

Basic technique:

ppsldisc /dev/ttyS0 &
ppsldisc /dev/ttyS1 &

I don't have time to try it again and reboot an important server at
the moment, but I figured I'd send this in in case it happens
for you, too.

Note that it's a very hard crash; sync first so you don't lose data!


32-bit uniprocessor kernel, Linux 2.6.26 + linuxpps 5.3.1.
