I've been running 60 concurrent instances of that thing for hours now,
and have not been able to reproduce :-/

I did enable CONFIG_KASAN but otherwise booted as normal, and the thing
says:

[    0.000000] kasan: KernelAddressSanitizer initialized

Is there anything else I should do?

I've ran out of ideas and it would be very helpful if I could prod at
something that fails...
