Hi,
Like I reported at [1], I strongly believe this was the same as bug as
#12794, which was resolved by a patch resulting from my feedback and
Jussi Kivilinna's work. After I enabled memory debug like suggested on
bug #14436, everything pointed in the direction of that bug.
The issue was solved after applying Jussi's patch. That patch has been
commited to the mainline kernel and I can assert that since then the
bug didn't occur again.

Regards,
Luís Picciochi
