The error iseems to be generated when MBBack runs. It was loaded at boot
and MBBCtrl calls it every 10 minutes. I have never noticed an error on
the ARMX6, only on the Titanium. Initially the error eported (no line
number) was a shortage of memory - then the error changed and became more
frequent. Sometimes happening on Boot and even surviving a reset.

It looks like something is writing to a semi-random area of memory when
MBBack runs.
