For the record, this is the output from a run on our ARM machine (32
MB RAM) with 2.6.18 + the following patches:

  mm: tracking shared dirty pages
  mm: balance dirty pages
  mm: optimize the new mprotect() code a bit
  mm: small cleanup of install_page()
  mm: fixup do_wp_page()
  mm: msync() cleanup

It is at all suprising that the second offset within a page can be
less than the first offset within a page ? e.g.

Chunk 260 corrupted (1-1455)  (2769-127)
