That would be a lot easier if the kernel would be kind enough to dump

I replace my kernel often enough that it's not worth trying to figure
out the routines for the panics I've reported.  I will do this in the
future.

I don't want to sound like a whiner, but it would be *really* nice if
either someone had alerted me to the fact that I wasn't giving enough
information, or if the panic message mentioned this necessary bit.  
Yes, I should probably have read more of the handbook.
