Can you tell me anything about the workload of your system? And given the mod times, it looks like it hasn't been modified any time recently, either. This is really starting to smell like some kind in-memory corruption --- caused perhaps by a hardware fault causing a bit flip, or some random bug in any part of the kernel. What has changed recently? Were you using an older kernel? What was the last known kernel version that was problem-free for you? Have you tried using Memtest86+ to make sure you don't have any memory issues? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
