Subject: Re: [PATCH] Prevent reading uninitialized memory with socket
 filters

For reasons I don't understand, this code seems to cause some people's
machines to lock up:

BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 10s! [dz:11844]

I haven't been able to reproduce this myself.  Very strange.  I'll send
a stack trace if I can reproduce.
