Thanks Roman - I'd been preparing a similar patch, so agree that this is
the right fix. I don't think there's any need to change your text, but
let me remind us that any "Bad page" report stops that page from being
allocated again (because it's in an undefined, potentially dangerous
state): so does amount to a small memory leak even if otherwise harmless.
