(repeat request for more elaborate description of "dies there"!
lockup or oops?)

Can you maybe tell me if the kernel nbd works in 2.5.46? I see no
changes to it since 2.5.44. And enbd is more or less doing the same
thing in end_request as is kernel nbd.

There are only trivial changes to kernel nbd in 2.5.47 too. 
(Pavel changes PARANOIA for BUG_ON, and switches to ansi 99 initializers
in structs .. probably he didn't do any of that himself. Looks like
generic kernel changes being applied globally by somebody).
