I was chasing a networking bug, and had trinity reduced to just making read & setsockopt calls, and let that run overnight. I woke up to 800mb of traces from a different bug..
The traces look mostly like this..

Which looks like we read some file (probably something in sysfs/procfs) that corrupted some internal state. Any ideas on what I could do to narrow this down ?
The full traces are at http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/junk/slab-corrupt.txt They vary a little later, but it looks like it's probably all the same problem to me. Sometimes it flip-flops between "First byte 0xbb instead of 0xcc" and "First byte 0xcc instead of 0xbb"
The one outlier being this weird message..
Sep 18 02:00:13 bitcrush kernel: [36617.487681] hrtimer: interrupt took 242337 ns
Which is weird, but probably unrelated.
