Thanks for the report. I had trouble reproducing this on Friday, but
after Hugh came up with an easy test case I think I have it figured
out. I sent out a proposed fix as "[PATCH 0/3] fix missing
rb_subtree_gap updates on vma insert/erase". Let's follow up the
discussion there if necessary.

Cheers,
