Does this still happen with the latest f14 kernel?

Comment 2 Peter Butler 2011-09-15 02:03:36 UTC
It occurred with this kernel: 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64

The system has not yet been upgraded beyond that.

Comment 3 Dave Jones 2011-09-26 18:50:02 UTC
there's no obvious fix for this in the git log post 2.6.35, though the VM has changed dramatically over the same time period.

Given where we are in f14's lifecycle, we aren't going to be rebasing again, and without an obvious fix for this bug, it's unlikely that it will get fixed there.

For f15 onwards, we're going back to regularly rebasing, so in future such bugs should hopefully be easier to diagnose.
