It was an out of bounds array access. Richard Weinberger has posted a fix and Toralf Förster has tested it and it works. http://marc.info/?l=user-mode-linux-devel&m=128740099820484&w=2
In the mean while a improved patch was send http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1050737 and AFAIK is included in the the -mm tree :
You can close it b/c the patch is already in the main tree now, isn't it ?
Indeed, thx for the note. It is in the mainline commit 1b627d5771312c92404b66f0a0b16f66036dd2e1 Author: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at> Date: Tue Oct 26 14:21:18 2010 -0700 hostfs: fix UML crash: remove f_spare from hostfs
