Julian has, Doug Ambrisko has, I have, and, I think, Archie has.

Note that the sig-11's we see occur after a lot of swap thrash not
necessarily as a result of an out of memory condition.

In general, when debugged, the process in question died from
attempting to reference a page for which the mapping existed
but for which the page itself did not (but by all rights should
have).  Someone kyped the page.
