Bug is related to stack guard fix - kernel 2.6.36-rc4 has this problem fixed.
Bug is present in 2.6.36-rc3 - so something between them fixes the problem.
It looks like the [stack] mapping loses 1 page after each mlock/munlock cycle.
I'm probably going to play bisect game to find out missing fix.

Meanwhile lvm tools were also updated to read whole mapping table before
locking pages to avoid reading some mapping lines twice.
Zdenek.
