Hmm.  I couldn't find the panic information in your e-mail (such as panic
message) or previous messages.  If I missed it, could you forward it to me
via private e-mail; if I didn't, could you resend the report with
documentation of the panic?  Some initial instructions on providing
post-mortem information on a panic can be found in the handbook.  At
minimum, the panic string is useful, but if it's a page fault, the
faulting address would also be important, along with (ideally) stack trace
and surrounding text.
