Xen devel - Aug 2009 - BUG: xend cores when creating a VM with 16MByte RAM

Hello!

When creating a VM with 16MByte xend cores with

Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.
[Switching to Thread 0xb45ffb90 (LWP 27606)]
0xb7ecf6af in memset () from /lib/libc.so.6

and a stack trace like the one in the attachment.
(detected during a run of xm-test ''16_create_smallmem_neg'')

xend should throw / return some error - but must not core.

Environment:
xen-unstable
i386
Debian 5.0.1

Kind regards

Andreas


P.S.: Started some deeper analyse of this problem which leads me to some
hints that ''mmap(2)'' does not work - which I cannot believe.
(Some more
notes and stack traces to my (possible wrong) analyse can be found in my
notebook [1].)
