Dear all,
i have been facing problems on a machine (amd k6-2) running debian
unstable, kernel 2.4.17 (homemade of ftp.kernel.org sources). the x-window
systems dies unfrequently, sometimes the whole box even hangs. i never
found anything inside the logfiles giving me a clue.
today i found this:

Good question. I see kupdated was running at the time. So follow
this logic.... or lack thereof...
(1) kswapd is panting heavily swapping data (executable stuff) to
and from the disk.
(2) kupdated is awakened to write some file buffers to the disk. It
had been swapped out (part of it). Some executable code gets swapped
back in...but, because of an error somewhere in the code-path, you
end up with the wrong file-data being swapped back in.
This looks like some race that happened because somebody didn't take a
lock when they should have. Or, it could be something as simple as
an unhandled error condition in a disk driver where upper level code
'thought' a read had occurred, but it didn't. Lots of things like
this.
The next check might be to disable swapping `swapoff -a` and see if
the condition is repeatable.

It's not <TAB> <SPC>, it's a copy from a text video memory buffer of an empty
portion of the screen. 07 is the attribute (=color), and 20 the <SPC> which
fills empty space. So this does not look like a buffer overflow, but a use of
a bad pointer somewhere. Perhaps a race during a text scroll or something ?
BTW, <TAB> is 9 :-)

<TAB> = ^I = 09
07 = ^G = <BEL>
