I saw it.  It looks some address space confliction occurs.
I met the same situation with another machine (Toshiba
Dynabook SS 3020).  Occasionally, there are some hidden
devices (I'm not sure about it) just on system memory area.

Right.  We must avoid using memory space on the system
memory.

Exactly.
