Hello,

the attached kernel oops happens repeatable

Hardware:
Dell Inspiron 2600 Laptop
USB-Serial Converter: UC-232A

Software:
minicom (V1.82.1)
kernel: 2.4.19-rc3
2.4.19-rc3-ac3

Description:
After modprobing the appropiate modules (pl2303, usbserial, usbcore,
uhci) and calling minicom on the device (/dev/usb/tts/0), everything
seems fine (can login, etc). But after exiting minicom, it ends with a
segmentation fault and the oops occurs. So the oops always occurs at
the moment I exit minicom. The oops also occurs when running a getty
on the device. After that, I cannot remove the modules anymore.
