Erm... I continued with *&#&%$ Alt-SysRq-{S,U,B}.

I tried few times, but to no avail. Looks like subtle race, bad news

*BUT*, after I pressed ctrl-c against mmap-sync in one of the torture

later machine got very unstable and I decided to reboot it. Go figure.

P.S. Apologies for too many jokes, I didn't sleep at all last night. ;)
