Subject: 2.6.31 regression: programs crashing after a couple of days of uptime with hibernation

Hello,
with kernel 2.6.30, I can have uptime of more than a month on my desktop PC
(with hibernation). It's impossible with 2.6.31. After 1 to 3 days, processes
that were running during hibernation (e.g. konsole, kwin, kicker, xorg) start
to crash randomly in very weird ways. The kernel itself does not seem to
crash. When I run the crashed program again, it seems to work. Looks like
some memory corruption.

This bug is also present in 2.6.32 and 2.6.33.

This is very hard to debug as the test case takes 3 days. I've been trying to
bisect it anyway. And after long time, I failed. Got this, which is obviously
wrong:
187f81b3d8d315c35c73ac0d05b15a04a0ac3ce7 is first bad commit
