Greetings all,

We have had one of our mail servers running 4.8-STABLE reboot every few hours

The following messages were found in the /var/log/messages

Looks like a part of the kernel using data that it doesn't own, ie. a 
kernel bug
Anyone else seen this type of message and better still have you found a fix?
