Since it triggers fairly quickly, any chance that you could try and
narrow it down to a specific version that breaks?
I already tried doing a git bisect, but I somehow messed it up
(probably by concluding that a bad kernel was good).
The problem is that *usually* triggers fairly quickly (within 1hr),
but sometimes it takes much longer to trigger, so it's hard to be 100%
sure that a kernel is actually good - except if I leave it running for
something like 24hrs for each step in the bisect. That is actually
something I plan to do, but finding the time for that is not easy.
