[parisc-linux] kernel panic when extracting large tar files

[Vlad D. Markov]

When I extract large tar files on my 735/99 (tar --numeric-owner -xzvpf ), 
the kernel panics and I get a core dump.

My kernel is: Linux version 2.4.20-pa18 (root@grumpy) (gcc version 3.0.4) #22 
Fri Dec 27 21:25:37 EST 2002

I saved a capture from minicom and have not upgraded the kernel since. I can 
mail the capture and my System.map separately.

If a new kernel or different version of gcc is needed, please let me know.
