In the past 11 years, I may have ran the script (and looked at the
output just after that) hundreds or thousands of times; the commands
to look at the output have been in my shell history for 6 years.
This was the first time I noticed such an issue. But if this is a
kernel bug, it may be a new bug.

I'll try to do that.

The first thing would be to try to reproduce the issue without
much debug info (in order to get the same system calls as the ones
generated by my normal script).
