[rsbac] Kernel errors

Hi again,

Once again I encountered the error while running 'find ./ -name
"*nss*tar.gz"' as root.
For some strange reason I get error messages like the ones bellow. I've
connected a nullmodem cable on the server so I can monitor it from another
server, which is also the reason I can supply the messages :) (the computer
itself hangs).

Amon asked me to send a System.map, but since it's about 300kb, I uploaded
it to http://www.i-vision.be/System.map.
(what does a system.map do btw ? :)

The kernel itself is 2.4.18-rsbac-1.2.0-pre6 (downloaded from the /kernel
section on the rsbac page)

So, here's an example: (they keep on comming, with a growing call trace).
