[2.6.16] slab error in slab_destroy_objs(): cache `radix_tree_node'...

[Paolo Ornati <ornati@fastwebnet.it>]

I was compiling QT 4.1.1 on my Gentoo box when I've got "internal
compiler error: segmentation fault".

Looking at dmesg:

[ 2398.483016] slab error in slab_destroy_objs(): cache

stripped config, dmesg & meminfo & slabinfo grabbed shortly after gcc
segfault are attached.

PS: I've got another "gcc segfault" trying to build Qt again after a
reboot but I don't think this is a memory problem (actually I have
a memory problem (single bit error) but it should be cured with
memmap=1K$214014K ;).

This time there's nothing strange in dmesg so maybe gcc segfaults have
nothing to do with slab error.
