 Unfortunately, no.  I no longer have access to the codebase that was
 generating the problem.  (It was at my previous job.)
 
 But, you may be able to reproduce the problem by putting a very large
 global variable/table in the kernel and see what happens.  As I
 mentioned in the bug report, I made the problem go away by taking out that
 table.
