*** Major bug in Linux ***




Well it seems the Linux has this major bug in its networking code..
I've had my computer remotely REBOOTED 3 times. 

I've been told it is caused by sending invalid packets longer than 
the maximum valid IP size (16 bit length). I've also been told that 2.0.23
is immune to this, but when I tried it (certain people on IRC tried it on
me, to be exact) the computer got stuck. Dead stuck. 

Any patch for this ??? :) I really don't feel like delving into the kernel
now. 

This bug seems to exist on Linux only.
