Yes.  This was under 4.2-STABLE.  Unfortunately, I can't remember off
the top of my head what the binary was - something extracted from a
redhat 6.2 RPM, I think.  Have you tried any statically linked
binaries which make the correspondingly-numbered syscall (actually, I
think mine triggered a halt, not a reboot, but they're both common
syscall numbers)?
