Hello again! Sorry for long away.
I was go away from this work for long time.

May we return to this bug?
Servers at last stable kernel 2.6.27.8
HZ=1000, HR=off, DynamicTicks=off, hysteresis=1
Sorry - no patched, update do not i. Do you have fresh patches or ideas
for tests?
Also debug "Debug object operations" and "Debug timer objects" is on but
i not see additional information at dump.

Thanks!
