so it panics, but you don't include the string[1]. it has a traceback,
but you don't include it. on top of that you provide a way of "repeating"
the problem that is so obviously ambigious that it couldn't even be
considered helpful.
do you expect someone to even look at this PR or is it just a way to
get some anger off your chest? if its the latter, let us know so we
can close this...

1. in_pcb.c::in_pcballoc() doesn't even have a panic() in it, unless
something it calls panic()s.
