How the hell did you figure that one out?


Found a way to reproduce it - do `cat /proc/slabinfo > /dev/null' in a
tight loop.  With that happening, a little two-way wasn't able to make
it through `dbench 4' without soiling the upholstery. Then bisection-searching.


Aha. we probably trigger it because the automated test harness dumps a
bunch of crap out of /proc before and after running dbench then ;-)

OK, your patch does seem to fix it for the automated tests. Not 100%
reliable, since it was a little intermittent before, but it looks
good.

Thanks to both Andrew and Andy.
