Since i installed this patch, i'm getting occasional #010000F recovarable alerts. Sometimes they lead to a system crash, sometimes not.
 Does anyone know or speculate of what could be the cause of it? Any tips on how to overcome this?

 Could MemTrailer be of any use to overcome this problem? The last update has (quote) "Better support for TLSFMem"

 Thanks for any replies.


Quick answer: Bad programs overwrite unallocated memory or write past the end of the buffer. This is lethal for TLSF. Try to identify the bad software and remove it. You can verify the correctness of the internal memory structures by calling TLSFDebug (with Sashimi running, otherwise the output goes to the internal serial port). MemTrailer is not a solution to badly written software, it makes the problems just less aparent (if you're lucky).
