Fuzz testing a 32 bit x86 Gentoo UML guest (especially NFSv4 files, nfs sserver
and client runs within the UML guest) with current git kernel brought the guest
into a state, where no ssh login is any longer possible.
At the host side I can see that the linux processes are still running.
I attached the gdb to the linux processes at the host (even 32 bit x86 Gentoo).
I do get nearly all the time:

but at least one time I got:

Now I'm wondering if this is an issue which is worth to be debugged or whether
I just should ignore it.
BTW the nsecs of 2 gdb calls in a row are identical since few minutes :
606859328243668608
before the value was : 606859328233668608
