This is probably related to a kernel patch Marcel installed on
pluto2 last night.  We're working to track down where some random
corruption of kernel memory is occuring by trying to set some
hardware watch points.  That required adjusting where things go
on the stack a little bit to prevent some "false" triggers that
were happening.

Might be a good idea to use pluto1 for a bit, I think Marcel was
planning to restrict this to just pluto2.
