	X-ASK-Info: Whitelist match

	UMA has a facility to track the previous owner of the memory.
	Assuming that is the problem I could give you a way to cache this
	information so we can print it out when we detect corruption.  I
	can work on this tonight.  What is the repro?

	Cheers,
	Jeff

I have not had any success in reproducing the problem on my machines,
but I am mostly running on 5.X these days. Evgueni V. Gavrilov (copied
on this message) seems to be able to produce the problem about once a
day on his machines. He is also very willing to help out by testing
patches and sending back reports. So, if you are able to provide him
with a patch to collect the information, I am sure that he will run it
and send back the results. He and I have already gone through all the
128-byte structures reported by `vmstat -m' looking for ones with a
short at 64-bytes and found no viable candidates. So, I was feeling 
rather stuck. But it sounds like you have a viable way of tracking
this down.
