Description Frank Ch. Eigler 2009-11-30 16:02:56 UTC 
With larger scripts with only a moderate amount of string processing
and recursion, there have been reports of script startup failures. 

   ERROR: percpu context (size 68520) allocation failed

The percpu_alloc based context allocation introduced in commit ded98b33
needs to be reconsidered.

Fixed in commit 4a0ae64.
