Subject: [OOPS] NFS dereferenced NULL pointer with 3.2.6 kernel.

Hi,

My 3.2.6 (x86, 32 bit) kernel oopsed last night while pulling a file across an

The remote host was also running 3.2.6, but was x86_64. (I've not had any 
trouble copying NFS files between two 32 bit 3.2.6 kernels, which is why I'm 
thinking that the remote host being x86_64 might be significant.)

For the record, the file was actually copied successfully. After I'd rebooted, I 
confirmed that the SHA1 sums matched. The "mv" operation obviously failed before 
the remote copy could be deleted.

Cheers,
Chris
