 sticks-and-crashs)

At least until now, and also tested hard by starting and 
stopping several memory-consuming operations,   I'm happy 
to can inform that the computer didnt yet crash again, and 
that also slownessnesses what I observed under 3.3 (but 
without crashs) don't occure and kmemleak (or a similar 
name) what sometimes started and I had to shut down under 
3.3 for recover normal speed, I dont see longer,  so that 
the the patch suggested by D.R. and L.T. cured the crashs 
(at least phenomenologically).    For be sure, however, 
it's still too early, only if the computer dont crash 
until tomorrow.

If there is found an agreement about something else what's 
senseful to test out, I can do that.
