I think so. I'm using the kernel and drivers that came
with Suse Linux 7.0 (middle of last year). I somehow assumed
they would incorporate important bug-fixes like this

deliberately provoke system lockups, just to debug them.
(I'm still suffering from filesystem repair mode shocks)

No, no, no. I wouldn't do any experiments if I had..
(So: just one SCSI-device (the scanner), using the built-in
scsi-controller)

Unfortunately, that *does* sound like a good reason, not
to install the protection by default!
