Please provide:
- /proc/cpuinfo
- kernel .config file
I'm wondering if this is same as issue 69 which seems to happen only on highmem
systems.

Difficult to debug this since too many variables here: BFS + BFQ
Try removing BFQ and then try zram. Pull the compcache code again before you
try since a bug was fixed today only.

+1, I have no BFS or BFQ, I use CFQ as default IO sched. kernel 2.6.34 with
grsecurity, Funtoo Linux.

I have tried zram on 2 2.6.35 computers, one with 512MB of RAM and another with
4GB of RAM. Both experienced frequent crashes/segfaults in programs that tried
to utilize zram with moderate frequency. It can handle things OK for a short
while, but things that swap to it seem to crash within a minute or less.
No BFS/BFQ/ck/zen on the kernels I'm running, just a stock build.
About the only thing the two machines have in common is that they are both
using stock 2.6.35.x from ArchLinux and both have Intel-family microprocessors
(one is a P4, the other C2D E6600).
Someone in #archlinux says he thinks that zram now requires 2.6.36+ to function
correctly. If so, this should be clearly marked somewhere.
I've struggled somewhat to find reliable info on zram/compcache. If you could
update this site sometime, that would be helpful.
Here is my /proc/cpuinfo on the C2D:

The code in the repository in now sync'ed with the mainline which has quite
stable zram implementation. So, Can you please pull and try again? or try
2.6.37 kernel directly.
