Please, whenever you have problems with the kernel, a traceback and other such information is very useful. Alot of traffic for the VM and NFS stuff happens in the background, where the groups don't see it... People who know the issues about working on the kernel, also generally know that a statement about a crash without any kind of information is useless, and often just gets ignored. IF one sends the output of a panic only, without the appropriate portion of the namelist, the info is useless.
