Hi, it's great you found out the culprit commit because I was really
wondering where this bug was coming from...
As a data point, my machine has a core 2 duo @ 1.2GHz and x86_64 arch.
Do you also have the tickless option activated? (it could play a role)
I believe this patch should fix the problem. Can you please verify?
Thanks,
