I gave this a go last thing last night. It crashed within 5 minutes,

additional that looked interesting.
Did the bad page map trace have any registers that looked like they
had 0xd0d0d0d0d0d0 in them?

I assume not, but worth checking.
Heisenbugs man, literally the worst.
I know you already had this in some email, but I lost it. I think you
narrowed it down to a specific set of system calls that seems to
trigger this best. fallocate and xattrs or something?
