It seems a lot of odd crashes suddenly showed up and I'm guessing it
may be related to compiler...
See commit 2062afb4f8 ("Fix gcc-4.9.0 miscompilation of load_balance()
 in scheduler")
it's a nasty gcc bug that affects 4.9 and 4.8.
I think it makes sense to apply that workaround before debugging much with 4.8
just to eliminate the possibility of miscompiled code.
