Funny that you should ask.  Just this afternoon I updated one of my
machines from 2.6.8-rc4 to 2.6.10-rc1 and saw the memset problem.  (I
got around it by commenting out the group.conf file). And then got a
segfault later.  I didn't see a kernel panic though since I couldn't get
it to run that long.  I don't know about any mlock problems.  Maybe the
kernel mailing list archives has something.
