Welcome to sink hole that is
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55984

3 months and ticking, Intel guys are all running away from it saying
they can't reproduce, everyone else on planet seems to reproduce quite
easily.

Its generally considered a bug in the relocation/shrinker/no idea category,

Assuming you have an Ironlake machine which I'm going to guess you do.

Dave.
