I don't think that's been conclusively established yet, so statements
of the form above are a bit unhelpful.

The problem may well lie elsewhere in the system, as a parameter in
vm_map_copy_entry() is being unexpectedly set to NULL in the backtrace
which you provided me with.

If more people can exercise the same codepath as you appear to be
exercising with different configurations, then I will have more to go on.
