I removed errors from 2.4.20, now it doesn't panic neither work. It's not
my fault, there are bugs in other kernel subsystems. My changes was more
or less reverting apne.c to older version. I think there's faulty code
somewhere in kernel that appeared between 2.4.13-2.4.17. I don't have time
now but in future I'll check cvs for changes in arch/ppc. Also many people
noticed random crashes of programs that use ipv4 protocols.
