Are you sure you have the latest version? Or possibly you need 2.4.25! 
I'll put it up (done). I believe all of 2.4.24 and 2.4.25 are running fine
under all kernels from 2.4.0 to 2.4.3 here, but I am awaiting local tests
under 2.4.1 onwards. 

Official tests are done out-of-house against the RH 2.4.2 xfs kernel.
They certainly have tested up to nbd-2.4.23, and just notified me that
they are starting on testing 2.4.24.

That won't cause segfaults, just sort-of-deadlocks. A segfault is
serious. Recompile with DEBUG=3 for the module and show me the oops.
