Taking Max's advice (since his advice on the ppp options file basically
fixed 95% of our problems), we tried to hack and fix our crash-prone stack... I
disabled SDP (just commented the relevant lines out of bluetooth.c and
hard-coded the RFCOMM channel) and disabled all HCI timer events (I set
HCI_RCV_TIMER to 0 in hci.c).

SDP no longer randomly SEGV's... yey.   

The non-SDP-related kernel panic rate went down significantly... in fact the
whole stack works fine now - all the time - on my desktop pentium running
2.2.16.  However, I still get crazy kernel panics when large amounts of data
are received through bluetooth on a 486, running 2.1.14.  So I can telnet,
chat, send cute ASCII art, etc., but I can't browse in netscape from one machine
to the other.  Has anyone else tried to run the stack on older machines?
Any success?  Any suggestions?  Anyone else have bandwith-dependent
problems?

Thanks for your many useful tips, MAx.
