BUG: Bad page map in process

With 2.6.32 I sometimes get lots and lots of "Bad page map" errors as
shown below. I believe these started in 2.6.32-rc8 or possibly
2.6.32-rc7. Pika just switched to 2.6.31 so I have been concentrating
on that release, and not really testing the 2.6.32 stream.

I wish I could give more info, but I don't really even have the time to
write this email :( I am hoping somebody will have a eureka moment.

Cheers,
   Sean
