Yeah. What I also saw was random "one-bit-errors" once and then on rmmod of modules. I have absolutely no idea how they were caused, though (I read the freeing codes of the stuff hundreds of times). I don't have any of the oops messages anymore. But I do _not_ see this behaviour with slub anymore. -- Greetings Michael. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
