    Bill Irwin has told me about a rare bug with exec() mapping
    garbage into the address space of a process, which might
    trigger this bug check the next time that process exec()s.

    I've gotten two reports of this bug now, but have no idea
    what particular combination of hardware / compiler / config
    triggers the bug. The rmap code seems to have survived akpm's
    stress tests so it's probably not a simple bug to track down ;/

    regards,
