Ugh, you've turned off DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE.

We probably shouldn't even allow that. The space savings aren't worth the pain.

I'm not seeing the pattern in your oopses, there's at least three
different cases. At a guess, it's some lock - or a memory allocator -
that is broken by the bitop breakage, and then the oopses are just
fallout from that..
