I am seeing a situation where a 3.4 system hard-locks while running 3.4
(hard lock being that it does not respond to its serial console, nor is
it pingable).  I believe (perhaps) that it may be NFS related, with a
program running on an NFS client when the executable itself is deleted
from the server  (although I haven't seen that style of panic in quite
some time, and it is usually has a couple of lines earlier in the output
to the effect that it lost its backing store. 

I realize that information is sparse in this, but that is because the
information that I have is equally sparse... I have no kernel messages,
I cannot drop into the kernel debugger, and no crashdump is ever created
(I need to hit the reset button to recover.)

I am trying to reproduce a test case, but it is difficult not knowing what
has caused the problems in the first place.
