If people have setup a swapfile, it will write around on that partition
outside of the swapfile. So Linus even advised to rebase any branches
people started on rc1 to rc2 besides of not starting anything on top
of rc1. I normally do not use a swapfile too, but that bug is so
extremely ugly. If you do not use swapfiles, everything is fine.
