Yeah, that's true. But it's a production server, and it's hard to switch
it off for ~6 hours while memtest86 will check RAM.

Also, nature of this bug make it ease to debug it, because it's happens
every time. I'd prefer to find a way to trace PaX code to find out what
exactly goes wrong, why it kill process N1. If PaX team provide a patch
which add some debugging output for PaX, or something else - to make this
investigation possible - I'll be happy to try it.
