I've been able to reproduce the results (instant reboot) by running the
vmlinux as a normal user in a clean Linux 2.4.10 plus ext3,
on Red Hat Linux system, Pentium 233 MMX processor.
I coulnd't reproduce the reboot in a Piii 750, kernel 2.4.15-pre2, either
normal or root user (good SIGSEGV :)).
It looks like it is a problem within the original kernel, and that it
has been fixed in later releases...
