I am also running with SMP disabled. But, last night when I tried to
duplicate it, I was unable to. If I can get a reliable way to replicate
it, I am planning on following Andrea Arcangali's advice to try out
arca-19 to see if it helps since it probably has something to do with the
scheduler and kswap changes. Unfortunately, if I can't reliably reproduce
it though, it's not worthwhile. Suggestions?
