Aha, and if you build a kernel and leave all the debugging symbols in,
as well as DDB, where is the fault?  Also check you're not smashing
your stack.

Again, check where the IP is in your kernel.  Traps with really small
fault address values are almost always attempts to access structure
members with a null structure pointer.
