Please do get me a Tested-by when you get to that point. Unfortunately I don't have a good way to test it until it's submitted upstream. While we are seeing thousands of such instances, they happen episodically on a farm of test machines. But they are still harmful, especially when the system tries to reproduce a bug, because it's mid-way through and thinks it got a hook, but then suddenly boom! it gets some mess that it can't parse and now it does not know if it's still the same bug, or maybe a different bug triggered by the same program, so it does not know how to properly attribute the reproducer. You can see these cases as they happen here (under report/log links in the table): https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=d5bc3e0c66d200d72216ab343a67c4327e4a3452 When the patch is submitted, the rate should go down. > Thanx, Paul > >> > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> > >> > commit 6a5ab1e68f8636d8823bb5a9aee35fc44c2be866 >> > Author: Paul E.
