 I was not able to reproduce it.

 What's the problem?  Do you have crash dumps enabled?

 Sorry, this doesn't help at all.  At the very least I'd need to know
 what the EIP address was.

 This one.

 You shouldn't be able to stop Vinum with a statically compiled module.

 That's something, I suppose.

 I assume this is something else.
 
 I'd really like to find out what's happening here; we have two
 separate reports of a bug I haven't seen before, but I can't reproduce
 it here, neither with 4.7-RELEASE nor with the current 4.8-STABLE.
 Any further information would be welcome.
