Happens under 2.6.39-rc4.
Here's probably more readable version (without lines being wrapped):
http://alt.swiecki.net/linux_kernel/sys_open-kmem_cache_alloc-2.6.39-rc4.txt
The most interesting part is probably the KGDB one. I'm still
debugging, but in case others might figure it out faster, attaching my
analysis here. The initial observation is that values in 'filp_cachep'
are incorrect.
