So I've been busy, but I have some more useful info. I've confirmed the bug's still in both version 3.5.0-40 (32 bit) and 3.2.0-53 (64 bit) of the Ubuntu kernel. However, while I've been busy, I had the idea of just splicing the changes from Xiao's patch (which we found in the last bisect) into

Hello again, I just thought I would make a quick update. I noticed that the commit that fixed the mainstream build has been backported into recent stable kernels. Unfortunately, I'm still seeing the bug on my 32-bit kernel (v3.5.0-37), and while it hasn't popped up for the current 64-bit kernel

Just finished the reverse bisection (managed to remember that bisect bad is good and vice versa). It looks like the commit that fixes the problem is something to do with memory mapping: d34883d4e35c0a994e91dd847a82b4c9e0c31d83 by Xiao Guangrong To be safe, I tested the kernel built at that

It's strange, but the bug hasn't appeared again yet. I've tried a few more random things, but nothing seems to make it come up again. I suppose it's always possible that one bad session was a complete outlier, but since I can't consistently replicate the bug now in 64bit Ubuntu, I can't really
