    I've replaced the BUG_ON() with a WARN_ON_ONCE(), and made it be
    unconditional (so you don't have to trigger the range check).

    That might make it show up earlier and easier (and hopefully closer to
    the place that causes it). Maybe that makes it easier for Srivatsa to
    reproduce this. It doesn't make *my* machine do anything different,
    though.

    Srivatsa? It's in current -git.
