To see this bug, you need to have _some_ highmem in the system (this means >= 1GB total physical RAM), be running on x86 (other arches dont have HIGHMEM option), and have the 64GB high memory support option enabled. (4gb is fine, as is lowmem)
I currently have 1GB of RAM with the 4GB HIMEM on 2.6.12-gentoo-r9. I can play with it.
I've had this bug reproduced by a few different people, but none of them with enough time to help me diagnose this. I only have 512mb myself so I can't help.
Sounds like it's time to upgrade ;-)
If anyone has the appropriate hardware and some time to spare slowly reverting out the Gentoo patches to help diagnose the problem, please take a look at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101359
I can definitely do that on one of my days off work (Mondays and Tuesdays). Shouldn't be terribly difficult with the newer, smaller patchset.
