Yeah, something funky is probably going on.

But, the "reclaimable" ones aren't guaranteed to be reclaimable.  It
just means that we can usually reclaim most of them.  If you have a
refcount leak on an object or something like that, they're effectively
unreclaimable still.

So, either way, the next step is to see which slab it was that blew up.
