:>     Try this patch with the latest kernel.  The failure case is odd,

:>     Does running clearcase crash it immediately or does it take a number
:>     of runs?

:It's very close but not quite instant - the command appears to pause for
:5-10 seconds before the actual panic.

    Ok, so try it with the patch and see if it still crashes.  If it 
    does try to get a kernel core dump out of it.
