(From my original posting, March 7.)
Did a little more experimenting with EPAT + PD in kernel 2.3.49pre1 today.
A log message I got, without taking the computer down with it this time:
Mar 7 20:03:16 frankenstein kernel: pda: OUCH: b_reqnext != NULL
Mar 7 20:03:17 frankenstein last message repeated 46 times
