After an hour of testing it still has not triggered. This could have multiple 
reasons:

 - Maybe i reproduced the original crash by pure luck.

   To exclude this i'll re-test once again with the non-debug .config.

 - There's some kernel image layout dependency that twiddling these options has
   hidden.

   This is the lowest probability explanation, because the problem
   triggered for me after tweaking the original .config and using a different
   toolchain.

 - These debug options could have narrowed the race window and could make the
   race much less likely to occur.

   This is the highest probability explanation.

Thanks,
