Don't know, just detected it. I think this is a new issue introduced with 4.2.x by reworking the "new allocator api" but it is just a guess what I saw so far. I was not involved in development. Can you read something from the fedora bug report? There were already some fixes in 4.2.4 but I guess there are still unknown bugs introduced with 4.2.x. The already fixed ones merged in 4.2.4: https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2015/10/msg00034.html Thank you. Ciao, Gerhard
