Greetings! I just upgraded this machine to Debian 2.0 a few days ago.
The kernel (2.0.34) was untouched and had been running smoothly for
months. This machine runs diald/pppd/IP masquerade as a corporate
gateway to the Internet. Over the weekend, The following errors
started showing up:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aug 1 17:03:01 debian kernel: Problem: block on freelist at 0174d610
isn't free.
Aug 1 18:01:53 debian last message repeated 6 times
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, this "problem" resulted in all sorts of processes being
randomly killed.

Is this bad memory, a problem with the new pppd, a kernel bug, a
fluke, or what?

Any advice would be much appreciated. This machine has been rock
solid for about a year, with uptimes > 90 days.

Thanks!
