Yes, that's what I'd assume as well.


What I can see of the panic on the console is shown in the

The more useful part is right above that. If you can't see any more
lines, you can configure the box to dump core on panic, and you (or I,
or whatever) can then get all of the messages in the dumped vmcore.


If I build 1.4.14.1 from source, it works fine on this box
it seems.

I cannot explain how 1.4.14 is working fine on our other
similar boxes, but not this one.


Anything different in the config on the box? (does the cache dir exist
and look the same?) The only code changes between 1.4.14 and 1.4.14.1 I


Not that I found.

I can no longer even reproduce the problem.

*SIGH*

The panics were found as part of 20-30 iterative Kickstarts
while developing our new OS imaging process and just went
away while working on it over the weekend.  I *hate* when
things are left this way, but unless I can reproduce it
again, I suspect this is a dead thread.

Anything different in the config on the box? (does the cache dir exist
and look the same?) The only code changes between 1.4.14 and 1.4.14.1 I
think were for Solaris and Linux 2.6.38, so nothing relevant was
