I guess Brad could try SLUB debugging, boot with slub_debug=P

Not much use I'm afraid.
This is all I get in the log

[ 3161.300073] 
=============================================================================
[ 3161.300147] BUG kmalloc-512: Freechain corrupt

The qemu process is then frozen, unkillable but reported in state "R"

13881 ?        R      3:27 /usr/bin/qemu -S -M pc-0.13 -enable-kvm -m 
1024 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -nam

The machine then progressively dies until it's frozen solid with no 
further error messages.

I stupidly forgot to do an alt-sysrq-t prior to doing an alt-sysrq-b, 
but at least it responded to that.

On the bright side I can reproduce it at will.
