Btw, Andrew is there any way to force kernel to use special UDF module
instead of compiled-in one? (Sorry for stupid question ;)

Not if it's already built in (at least not with more hackery than it's worth...) - just rebuild your kernel w/ udf as a module.

BTW my testcase before was bogus, that's not what's causing the lockup. I'll keep investigating now that I know what *not* to look for. ;-)
