Hi,
I have a 2.6.5-7 kernel and I sporadically get these kernel messages:
kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'beam',
page c1a95320)
kernel: flags:0x40020118 mapping:f401adc0 mapped:0 count:0

I have googled around and it seems that the "Bad page state at
free_hot_cold_page" is quite common. But I haven't found any
satisfying explanation for it. The traceback and the flags, mapped,
count and private attributes are always the same which suggests that
this problem ought to be reproducible somehow.
