With this version ( and patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/29/97 ) applyed on latest linus git tree
the box OOPS'es early.

Sorry I don't have time right now to write down the part of the OOPS I can see on monitor , I can try to find
some time later.

In any way OOPS'es on __free_one_page+0x191/0x21e
