Subject: Re: 2.6.21-rc5-mm2

Hi,

just wanted to add that when analyzing the backtrace I found the comment
at drivers/char/vt.c/con_close() to be VERY suspicious...
(need to take tty_mutex to prevent concurrent thread tty access).
This might just be what happened here despite trying to protect against it.
