Just a heads up if anybody is trying to reproduce this, it trashed my ext3 rootfs, which is not recoverable. Not sure what exactly caused this, but I didn't have anything like this for a very long time. I tried to reproduce the issue a few times more, and it crashed random processes after the bug triggered, like mentioned above, and the box never shut down cleanly. It's entirely possible, that bug causes serious issues.
