Hi Michael,

we had very similar issue, which we encountered when updating to gstreamer 
1.6. Using git bisect we were able to find a root cause and prepare simple 
test program, which reliably reproduces the issue:

#include <string.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        int size;
        uint8_t *memblock;

        if (argc < 2)
                return -1;

        size = atoi(argv[1]);

        memblock = malloc(size);

        while (1)
        {
                memset(&memblock[0], 0, size);
        }

        free(memblock);

        return 0;
}

starting this program will cause crazy flickering, ...

We were able to reproduce the issue with

1) debian originally provided on beaglebone using memtest utility for 
carlos. Kernel version was: 

Linux version 3.8.13-bone70 (root@a5-imx6q-wandboard-2gb) (gcc version 
4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-14) ) #1 SMP Fri Jan 23 02:15:42 UTC 2015 

2) latest version of debian from beaglebone website Kernel version was: 

Linux version 4.1.15-ti-rt-r43 (root@a4-imx6q-wandboard-2gb) (gcc version 
4.9.2 (Debian 4.9.2-10) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Jan 21 20:13:58 UTC 2016 

so it seems to be existing for ages.

Did you in the mean time managed to find a solution for your problem?

Thanks,
Radek
