I got dropped into the debugger within a few minutes of booting a
1.6ZG kernel, Saturday morning's CVS (12/16/2003), when starting
"gkrellm":

This computer has dual PIII's, @500 Mhz, 512 MB RAM.

I expect kernel grovellers to produce incorrect output when the kernel
is updated (this was built against 1.6ZF), but it shouldn't panic, right?
