Greg's debugging this on the machine here at the moment, which is
crashing the same way in what appears to be the same place.

If anyone else wants to take a crack it, the magic vinum debug number
needed is 328 and not 324.

So far Greg's discovered that the field is correctly set a little while
before the crash, and then becomes NULL for no apparent reason.  Looks
like a really nasty bug.

The nice thing is this loaner machine has no real job to do besides
crashing, so it can crash as often as required.  :)
