I'm currently running "ktrace sum /path/to/file/with/problem" here
but that will create a ktrace.out of roughly 8GB since the error
always occurs about 7.5 to 8 GB from the start of the file.

Sending you 8GB doesn't seem very convenient.  Would it be sufficient
for you to run a kdump and mail you the first lines (up to the point
where it's reading in a loop) and the last lines (including several
iterations of the loop)?
