Comment 11 for bug 183311

Hi,
I've got exactly the same bug on my Gentoo desktop PC. Getting kernel panic while pairing with my HTC TyTN WM6. My system is Athlon XP 2200+ and 2.6.24-gentoo-r4 kernel.
Kernel panic ocurs exactly when I send a PIN from the phone and instead of PIN request appearing on my screen I get the panic.
Reproduceable 100%.
Nothing in logs either.
I've tryied to panic it in console without X running to see the kernel panic message, but the backtrace was always totally different! Most times the bug was "Invalid instruction 0000".

I've tryied a few versions of BlueZ from 2.25 to 3.31 and found that it has nothning to do with it, the bug is the same and seems to be in the kernel itself.

I managed to reproduce this on another Gentoo 64-bit system too with 2.6.24-gentoo-r3 kernel, but there it's not happening for the first time, you need to send the PIN few times to get the kernel panic.

Affected devices:
HTC TyTN WM6 phone
Edimax bluetooth 2.0+EDR USB dongle

Some kind of patch would be nice.
Thx
