"Mee too". I think there is an open PR from me which probably
has the same cause.
The symptoms I'm seeing are either:
- random core dumps (sh, sed, awk during package builds)
- complete lockups (I can get to ddb, and it always has a similar
stack trace, something with memcpy() in it -- so it sounds very
much like a cache invalidation that doesn't happen and the same
page is brought in again and again, or something similar)
I can pretty much reproduce the "system hangs" scenario by doing
a make build -- and I have disabled X so it's possible to get into
ddb. If someone can walk me through what I should do, I'm game...
