i upgraded to vanilla kernel 2.6.20 and while i was using strongswan
2.8.2 to setup an IPSEC VPN i got the following kernel Ooops.
I had successfully established the same tunnel a few times, but key
renegotiation caused a problem ( both ends did not renegotiate at the
same time so the tunnel was frozen ), i decided to kill the tunnel and
start a new one ( using ipsec auto --down tunnel & ipsec auto --up
tunnel ), while i was doing so, i got the oops.
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address

This is similar to another bug reported last month.
Here is the patch I sent out then. Please let me know
how it goes.
