    This is an old problem and has been reported here quite a few times. No
    good solution has been found however as far as I know. The release notes
    for kernel 2.2.14 (http://www.linux.org.uk/VERSION/relnotes.2214.html)
    says:

      AX.25
           A memory leak has been exterminated. The "protocol foo is buggy"
           message should also be dead and buried.

    Apparently it isn't quite dead and buried... I wonder if Alan remembers
    what was done to fix it in 2.2.14.
