Thanks -- will take a look at the attached.

FWIW, though, I'm worried by the number of panics you are seeing, =
especially given that they involve multiple subsystems, and in =
particular, John's observation about a potentially corrupted pointer. =
This makes me wonder whether (a) you are experiencing hardware faults -- =
it would be worth running some memory/cpu/etc tests and (b) if we might =
be seeing a software memory corruption bug of some sort.
