Unfortunately not quite there yet. There appear to have been two
unrelated issues since I've still been getting crashes, but at a much slower
rate on 2.4.23-vs1.2{0,1}. They occur more quickly with my other patches
in place, but since they're timing susceptible, that doesn't say much.
The fix I have is to replace the uts_sem write locks in vcontext.c's
vx_assign_info and vx_release_info with a spinlock. They aren't related
to the uts_name in anyway, so were only freeloading anyhow :)

Opinion(s) please.
