We actually regressed back to 3.5.16-11 which works just fine. I don't 
believe we tested -13, but if it hadn't had the issue, then we would've 
stuck with it instead of falling as far back as we did. As far as pages, 
I don't know of anything specific, but pretty much any page on 
LinuxQuestions.org causes the segfault every couple visits.

Taylor Burke
