Can someone try this on ppc64le system? At this point I am not convinced this issue is generic.Does your x86 system have at least 784 CPUs? I don't know where the original report came from, but the trace shows "CPU 784", which would usually indicate a system with at least that many CPUs.Update, apparently the report originally came from IBM, so I'll chase it up internally. I think you're right that there's probably no issue in the module code, sorry to waste your time.
It gives me testing happiness to know that may be the case :) Luis
