 Unfortunately I dont think the backtrace is very useful, it's
 reporting damage that occured at some earlier time.

 I am not entirely sure whether it is really due to a full filesystem,
 because I've also come across it in random circumstances.  I have also
 spent some time stressing full filesystems without causing the panic.
 If you can come up with a way to reliably produce it, that would be
 very useful (possibly essential).
