In a single day, "/var/log/messages" has grown to 80 MB which is quite
impressive. It's all about "slab size-64: redzone mismatch" which had
already been reported by a "PPC" user. Well, so it appears that "x86"
is
also struck.
Time for a downgrade ..
I'm seeing the same thing on an Dell Inspiron 9300.
It might be I/O related. In my case, beagled happens to be running. I
only get mouse cursor lockups for a few seconds, just long enough to be
annoying.
