Please disregard my previous post, I have found the bug right at the
spot where I've been starring for the last two days. (I knew this
would happen, I am sorry but I guess if I didn't send the mail, it
would take me even longer to discover what was going on).

The trouble was I was not removing pages from LRU and mm didn't like that.

However, why are not pagevec functions exported for modules? They seem
very useful and I hate to cut and paste stuff.

Thanks very much anyway,

Martin
