I checked all do_div() implementations, and (unless I missed one) m68k and
mn10300 were the only two that didn't truncate base to 32 bits.

Mn10300 is little endian, so I think the problem won't happen there.

Andreas, I'll apply your patch
(http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.m68k/5008)
with the crash log added to the commit message, so it's appropriate for -stable.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
