Just one reboot later, using the same program as a test, but with the
patch from Rik, nor the Ben one, I get another
BUG in the same function, this time
page_alloc.c::__free_pages_ok(): 104
	if (page->mapping)
		BUG(); <- This one.

This time again, the machine was in trashing (heavy trashing).

Following the BUG(), two Oops that are attached.

As always, if you need more information or anything, let me know.

Later, Juan.

PS. Somebody tolds me that all the bugs could be caused by Bad Memory,
    21 hours and 18 passes of memtest86 find not a single error.
