Note that mine went into KC_GET_PARAMS and yours died. Could your kernel be corrupt?

The last line is interesting

KC_REGEN_REQD

Looks like there is some inconsistency with the kernel parameters in SAM. Did you try accessing them through SAM?. The above may be a hint.

well spotted, yea, I had thought that i repaired that there was an out of limit value on a couple of systems here a while back.. this guy got through the net.

Odd it should bale out of the sam section like that though.

Anyway,
Later,
