It apparently doesn't work on anything but x86, if the above is any
indication.

If you do, submit a better bug report.
Build a debug kernel with ntfs and DDB built in (config -g), install
it (make install). Crash the machine with ntfs. When the machine
panics, you'll be at the ddb prompt: get a traceback from ddb:
ddb> trace
Write this down (or cut-n-paste from the serial console), and include
it in the bug report.
After rebooting, run gdb -k kernel.debug and list the pc and the ra
and include the line of code which causes the crash in the bug report:
Eg, (kgdb) l * 0xfffffc00003fd6cc
(kgdb) l * 0xfffffc00003fdab8
Even still, unless its something obvious, don't expect too much
action. I don't know of anybody with ntfs interest AND an alpha.
