PaX kills Tor due to overflow
 

My Tor node gets killed once every day or two with the following message in
dmesg:

PAX: size overflow detected in function tcp_recvmsg net/ipv4/tcp.c:1696
Pid: 28327, comm: tor Not tainted 3.4.4-hardened-r1 #1

Is there a way to figure out where Tor goes wrong and provokes this error? No
core dump is produced, and not even running Tor under GDB helps - execution
ends with:

Program terminated with signal SIGKILL, Killed.
The program no longer exists.
