(nm -n /kernel) I guess that it must be somewhere between these two symbols: f01c087c t nortqr f01c08ae t idqr P.S. Here is one bit of important relevant information that I didn't know when I posted my earlier question: The system _may_ have just plain run out of both main memory _and_ swap space at around the time I got that particular kernel panic. I guess that in all fairness, NO kernel can be expected to survive, either gracefully or otherwise, if I am busy exhausting every last bit of available memory. P.P.S. Why did I exhaust all available main memory and swap space? Well, I really didn't mean to. It just sorta happened. See my other posted question regarding the mysterious per-process 128 KB memory overhead. If you can tell me how to kill _that_ then I will solemly swear to never ever exhaust all of available swap ever again in my whole life. Really. I promise.
