Hello everybody!
I have some _very interesting_ news regarding this issue!
Here is the deal:
1. I was able to *reproduce the error on a machine of a coworker!*
2. I was able to rule out
- HDD: It's reproducible from /dev/shm
- Memory: Memory tests works fine
now the interesting part:
3. Occurs on Linux kernels 3.7.10, 3.8.x, 3.9.11, 3.10.5
_but not on:_ 3.6.11, 3.5.7 and 2.6.32
Both machines showing this problem are »Dell Latitude E6330« with an
»i5-3340M @ 2.70GHz« CPU. Mine running stock kernels, coworker using
plain Ubuntu 13.04.
Furthermore I need to stress, that we never had any issues with our
devices during daily _at all_.
So what to do best now?
