This line looks suspicious. The start address is ok, but the end address
isn't. It seems to have been wrapped. So, I would expect something like:
Block: [1fe80000,ffffffff) size=e0180000 avail=e0180000 max_avail=e0180000
Block: [00000000,00001000) size=1000 avail=1000 max_avail=1000
It looks like that the allocator merged the 2 blocks into one, just a
guess ...
Mmh, please apply following patch and post the output in order to
understand what lead to the problem.

With the patch we know hopefully more ...
Cheers,
