Very simple:

ln -s foo foo
ls -lF foo

hangs, hit ^C, then watch the oopses scroll. This is on sparc64, IDE
system, ext2 filesystem. Reproducable everytime. Sorry I can't get you any
oops reports, but it scrolled by so fast that it pretty much tied my
system up (framebuffer never relinquished control, not even for a stop-a
or sysrq).
