OK, I've completed the search: r331346 works, r331347 panics
somewhere in the initialization of random.

In the 331347 change (Add the "TCP Blackbox Recorder") I can't see
anything obvious to tweak, unfortunately.  It's a fair chunk of new
code but it's all network-stack related, and my kernel is panicking
long before any network activity happens.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Andrew
