Confirmed with any kernel above 3.12.2 that I cared to test (I didn't
test 3.12.3). The issues vary from illegal instructions to segmentation
faults to double frees in userland, so it's basically a "random" thing.
I can't say it's become "worse" after 3.12.5 (since I haven't kept per
version statistics).
