I changed 128 --> 200 (echo "200 300 400" > /proc/sys/vm/freepages) and
still had the problem. Increasing these values only makes the problem show
up not so often, but it does _NOT_ solve the problem.

I tried the tests with the old buffer.c code from 2.0.29: The problem
showed up not so often, but still existed.
