So I still think that generating potential segfaults is not a proper way to 
test a 
new feature. How are we supposed to tell the feature still works? I realize 
that 
glibc is a problem here - but that doesn't really change the QA equation: we 
are 
adding new kernel code to help essentially a single application out of tens of 
thousands of applications.

At minimum we should have a robust testcase ...

Thanks,
