Not really - I never had anything to go on! If you would like the story :-)
There was that post about firefox being "parked", so I compiled a new
kernel on a single processor amd, and thereafter it kept freezing while
building the world, and I had some interesting file corruption e.g.
.depend files containg 0x0 or some binary. Then I came back to Cambridge
and had similar freezing experiences on a pentium 4 with hyperthreading
enabled, once again while building the world and in X. Then I tried
building the world from a console on a pentium M, that's when I finally
had the panic, and could get some information out!

Pleasant surprise: bt/l actually did write to disk, so
now with function arguments:

The kernel dump I got isn't much use because I got another panic while
synching.

Now trying again with your patch...

Cheers,
