Come to think of it, could you try running with and without the patch
on

  http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/Linux-2.6.x/2.6.0-test9/linux-2.6.0-01-fix_deadlock.dif

That fixes a race that is likely to show up when memory is
low. Normally it should cause a deadlock rather than corruption, but
it is conceivable that there are other side-effects...

Please make sure that you run with slab debugging enabled...

Cheers,
