Two on the kernel.

Hey all,
I've got two issues here. Both issues were seen with 2.4.19aa1. The second issue was seen with 2.4.20aa1 also.

1. This message between two linux machines during backup (rsync), across GBE:

"TCP: Treason uncloaked! Peer 10.1.1.40:37859/873 shrinks window 2430745930:2430747378. Repaired."
"TCP: Treason uncloaked! Peer 10.1.1.40:37859/873 shrinks window 2430745930:2430747378. Repaired.
XFS mounting file"

I saw some info on LKML archives about this, but no resolution or reason. The system reporting the errors has an EEPRO1000 and is connected via crossover to a system with embedded BCM5700s. MTU is 9000

2. tar xjvf breaks the machine: Usually black-screens.

When untarring say, bzipped kernel source, though other tars have caused this too, the system will get very slow, the untarring will stop, and then about 2 - 5 mins later, everything stops. Sometimes this causes a black screen, other times, it's just frozen with whatever's on the screen. The system must be hard booted for it to recover, usually needing to hold the power button down till forced power off too.(5 seconds)

I thought this might be memory related, so I umounted /dev/shm after a reboot, and tried my untar test again. Usually I could untar 2 times before the system entered the aforementioned state. I then tried 2.4.20aa1, and got the same result. I then tried just 2.4.20 + XFS patches, and now my system is actually faster at most things than it was prior. I'm not sure why.

The system mentioned in #2 is an AMD Athlon-C with 512MB RAM two HDDs a CDRW and a DVD-ROM drive. It is 100% XFS and LVM is used for 5 volumes, but not / .

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Two on the kernel. - Please Respond.

If you have any information to share, questions, etc, I'd appreciate anything which may help shed light on what I'm seeing here. I'm planning on testing a custom patch set internally so I know it will fix the problems below, but I need feed back to make sure I'm headed in the right direction. TIA
