[...]I planned to dist-upgrade to Debian testing in any case roughly two weeks from now when I hope to finish up a project I am currently working on. I don't want to disrupt that project, but once that is done just before that dist-upgrade, I will try your idea of just updating the kernel and its dependencies. After all, although I don't personally intend to use Debian stable too much longer, others will continue to use Debian stable for quite some time, so I would like to help out such users by doing some tests if it turns out (see my question above for you) the kmalloc-32 memory leak is a common issue on 64-bit hardware.Did you upgrade to Wheezy in the mean time?
Yes, so this bug is no longer relevant to me. But it was definitely an issue until I upgraded to Wheezy so it is likely to continue to be an issue for those remaining Debian users who have not done that upgrade yet.
