The following test-program seems to reliably trigger a bug.  Run it in a
new set of namespaces, i.e.
	ns_exec -cmpiuU ./runme > /tmp/o
then control-c it.  The second time I do that, I get the dcache.c:666
BUG().

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>

#define __NR_checkpoint 333
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
	pid_t pid = getpid();
	int ret;

	close(0); close(2);
	ret = syscall (__NR_checkpoint, pid, STDOUT_FILENO, 0);

	if (ret < 0)
		perror ("checkpoint");
	else
		printf ("checkpoint id %d\n", ret);

	sleep(200);
	return (ret > 0 ? 0 : 1);
}
