2.5.47 bug - USB usbfs segvs processes

Another bug in 2.5.47, this time with USBFS. When attempting to read
/proc/bus/usb/drivers, the program reading the "file" terminates with a segmentation fault:
/proc/bus/pci:58$ cat devices
Segmentation fault
$lspci
Segmentation fault

You are trying to read /proc/bus/pci/* not /proc/bus/usb files. So why would you think usbfs would have a problem?

Also, a decoded oops report would help out a lot.

thanks,

heh. I *am* an ass. That is indeed /proc/bus/pci, not /proc/bus/usb.
Ewps. lsusb *does* segv, although the fact that I was in the wrong directory is intriguing. Maybe I'll get the same problem as I got with lsusb when trying lspci. Hmm.

To my knowledge, there is no oops data. I'll send more data when I get a
chance to reboot into that kernel.
