It's not necessarily easy to reproduce.  It shows up eventually, but it 
varies a bit.

It's also unclear whether it is a regression or not.  It only started 
appearing because I already got fixed the 5 or so other bugs that the 
fuzzer would trigger first.  So bisecting will be a pain because older 
kernels would have to be patched and the patches don't necessarily apply 
cleanly further back.

I'm working on seeing if I can get a reproducible trace that I can work 
with, but there's a lot of other stuff going on right now so it's semi low 
priority until I can spare a machine from doing 3.12-rc1 validation tests.
