OK, these patches applied together against upstream didn't cause a crash
but I did observe:
significant slowdowns of MIDI playback (moreso than in previous cases,
and with less than 20 Meg of swap file in use);
kswapd0 sharing equal top place in CPU usage at times (e.g. 20 percent).
If I should try only one of the patches or something else entirely,
please let me know.
