It depends on how many warnings and debugging you have turned on, although
it compiles fine there is a warning about cli() being used. It is buggy
with that respect although very hard to trigger in normal use.
What can be triggered easily is another bug in the reuse of the netdevice
structure that happens when kissattach is killed and a new kissattach
process is started...
I have fixes for both that are now being tested and it looks good sofar.
