on the picture you sent me i noticed the message
"Your memory is not aligned you need to rebuild your

srat code complains about "No NUMA code hash function found"
which looks a bit scary. Btw, could you post this picture
on some public resource so NUMA people could check it?
This case used to be handled cleanly (NUMA disabled), but perhaps
that has regressed. But still it sounds like something is going wrong,
unless his machine really has a very weird memory map.
it shouldn't, it was one of the high-volume servers 4-5 years ago and only
has 4G of ram in it
