Definitely believable. It gives me an internal avenue to chase down.
Thanks

Sounds like a kernel bug to me, particularly because the segment is most
likely already 16 MB in length; we're only rewriting the contents, not
enlarging it. Perhaps the kernel wanted to report a problem and chose
the wrong errno.
