Our people here have seen the same problem with the 2.4.3 build.
Apparently, there are patches around on the kernel list to deal with it,
but I don't know if Linux kernel folks have released an official fix for
it yet. You might want to stick to 2.4.2 until the final fix is
incorporated into the kernel tree. By all accounts I've seen, the 2.4.3
kernel should be used instead of the 2.4.2, but that doesn't mean much
when you can't build 2.4.3.
