It's probably this: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=350017 It's fixed by: c8d16e27a3601d1cbcdfe657eb4ff5e762019e8d -> fixing the memory corruption b6a163875935ce8e8e85901a7f2b68f7a314d914 -> check the pointer which is now not corrupted anymore, but NULL. Hmm, the commits are only in Len's tree and have not hit Linus' tree yet.
