This is on 8.3.8, latest Ubuntu distribution, server under quite heavy load.
afterwards we had some corrupted pages ("ERROR: compressed data is corrupt").
Random segfaults only under heavy load with corrupted pages afterwards normally means bad RAM. I'd suggest a round of memtest86+ on the system if it's PC hardware.
Just a note for all other who may encouter this problem:
This was not a vanilla Ubuntu - this was vendor-modified version, witch custom grsecurity patched kernel and probably with custom patched libc.
