Hm, unfortunately, I can't reproduce this problem, even with 2 minute
GTK rekey intervals. Could you run this program on your machine while
you reproduce it?

http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/files/mc.c.txt

(just save as "mc.c" and compile with gcc mc.c -o mc)

The program will allocate 2GiB memory (edit to suit, should be OK on
your machine), fill them with 0x94 and then continually scan them for
corruption. Identifying what kind of corruption happened will hopefully
allow me to figure out where it's coming from.

It prints out the wrong data & resets the memory so new corruption later
is also identified.

Thanks!
