Not on AMD64, so I did not see anything until Tony's post.

Tested all 3 allocators here before the release and I did not notice
anything wrong. AFAICT multiple other testers also saw no problem.

I do not handle that tree.

Tony's report was the first report that I got on this issue. There were 2
others issues for which I also submitted patches this week.

I usually post too early rather than too late. There was no delay on this
one either. Emails reflected my real time knowledge and fixes available.

That is quite good. Thanks for your efforts.

Thanks for testing. My daughter has been in the ICU since Thursday and I
had to guess that this was the right solution based on what I was able
to glean on from experiences of others with the issue. Never was able to
truly test the fix or even do a kernel build while the crisis was going
on here. She just was moved out of the ICU an hour ago so I will be
able to do more next week.
