It doesn't look like a place I would expect CBFS to be the issue.

512M of RAM = 0x20000000, 64K for high tables.

Writing high tables above RAM!  Why is the high MP table so much larger than
the low one?

And more writing above RAM.

I don't know that that is the cause of your trouble, but it isn't good.  An
easy thing to try would be to increase high_tables_size to 0x40000 and see
if you get anything different.  I'm surprised that your mp table is so
large.  Maybe that's where the real problem is?

Thanks,
Myles
