Li,

I ran your test for 13 hours on three different machines. I did not hit
any more errors. Although I see a lockdep warning (not a locking problem
but the WARN_ON in fork.c is triggering). I'll look into that on Monday.

Please take the new patches that Ingo just pushed to Linus, if you find
any more bugs, please let me know right away.

Thanks!
