I guess that it must be somewhere between these two symbols:

f01c087c t nortqr
f01c08ae t idqr


P.S.  Here is one bit of important relevant information that I didn't know
when I posted my earlier question:  The system _may_ have just plain run
out of both main memory _and_ swap space at around the time I got that
particular kernel panic.

I guess that in all fairness, NO kernel can be expected to survive, either
gracefully or otherwise, if I am busy exhausting every last bit of available
memory.

P.P.S.  Why did I exhaust all available main memory and swap space?  Well,
I really didn't mean to.  It just sorta happened.  See my other posted
question regarding the mysterious per-process 128 KB memory overhead.  If
you can tell me how to kill _that_ then I will solemly swear to never ever
exhaust all of available swap ever again in my whole life.  Really.  I
promise.
