Sorry for the delay; been a bit busy.  I tested both of these patches on
top of this one (separately, of course):

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg63919.html

I think that's the one you were referring to, if not send me a pointer
to the correct one and I'll give it another shot.  Both patches still
segfaulted, so it doesn't appear that either of these solved the
problem.  If you have anything else you'd like for me to try let me
know.
