That's what I get, and also these:

mdb.c:5176: Assertion 'IS_LEAF(mp)' failed in mdb_cursor_next()

or

mdb.c:1713: Assertion 'rc == 0' failed in mdb_page_dirty()

etc.

mtest is somewhat fickle, it uses random() to decide exactly what it's
doing. I have a hunch that I can provoke this with a simpler test program,
going to try that now.

Do you still want those strace logs from me?

Both of the targets (ASUS RT-N66u running Tomato, TP-Link TL-WDR4300
running OpenWRT trunk) I tried have 4k page size, so nothing out of the
ordinary there.

One thing I'd like to try is building against the normal OpenWRT/uClibc
toolchain (or even a plain glibc one) to see if anything changes.
Unfortunately the snapshot binaries they provide require at least glibc
2.14 which I don't have on my machines running Debian stable. I tried
using a toolchain built from source using the OpenWRT buildroot but get
random link errors :-/
