Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Dear Maintainer,
This bug is perennial. If we go through old bugs with
"cannot reproduce" tag 50% of them are this one, the other
50% are the "you should not use pipe for interprocess IPC"
which we will submit shortly.
Manifestation of the problem - UML dies on startup for no
reason with a memory corruption message. Occurs only on
heavily loaded systems and usually when running a lot of
UMLs.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] BUG: Memory corruption on startup
The reverse case of this race (you must msync before read) is
well known. This is the not so common one.
It can be triggered only on systems which do a lot of task
switching and only at UML startup. If you are starting 200+ UMLs
~ 0.5% will always die without this fix.
