Finally I found some time to do some testing.

In one shell, git did some checkouts:

while true; do git checkout master && git checkout b4.0; done

While in the other shell I just rebuild a kernel:

while true; do make clean && make -j200; done

4e82901 crashed after 10 minutes
4e82901 + e7d6ef979 no crash after 4 hours
9f541801 no crash after 2 hours
9f541801 + e7d6ef979 no crash after 12 hours

cheers,
