I spent all day chasing a nasty kernel bug, and probably will do so much
of tomorrow as well.  Hopefully I can find time to review your code in
details soon.  I am not sure I'm going to apply these though..from
your description it sounds like you may be hiding real bugs.

Can you provide an exact set of xorpsh (I assume) commands & config file(s)
to make this bug happen?

Thanks,
Ben
