For now, I can't reproduce the problem with CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM disabled ;
with the option and rc5 the problem was happening quite quickly after
boot and normal use of the machine. So it seems I can confirme what Zeno
has seen and I hope this will give a hint to debug the problem. I guess
this has not been reported that much because many testers might not have
enabled CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM... Maybe the scheduler folks could test their
benchmark with a kernel having this option enabled?
