Sorry, I forget to mention, that this is a 32-bit (i686) userspace, but 
a 64-bit Linux kernel, so it might be the same issue as mentioned in 
commit eed1fcee556f (x86: Disable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC on 32-bit x86), 
but didn’t fix the issue for 64-bit Linux kernel and 32-bit userspace.


Kind regards,

Paul
