Two different caches are affected. The addresses of the corrupted variable differ, the offset into the page is identical. I think that rules out bad memory. That leaves a bug in slab.c, a bad bit in the L1/L2 cache, or random pointer scribbling. Jerome, could you try the attached patch? It changes the magic constants that are used by slab.c. And please pay attention to the objnr: Is it always objnr 10, slabp xxxxx000, or do you see other values as well? -- Manfred -- Manfred
