Subject basically says it.  I tried the 2.2.13 patch on a 2.2.14 kernel
and it can be made to apply without too much fuzz.

But the resulting kernel has a tendency to hang occasionally when you
hit the 'break' key.

I supect it may be an SMP issue; I do get the "Entering kdb" message but
nothing after that, and looking at the code, the next thing that happens
after that is an interprocessor interrupt to stop the other processor.
And it does look as if there have been some changes involving APICs etc
between 2.2.13 & 2.2.14...?

Thanks for any info or suggestions,
