Hm, wonder who's birthday that is...

In any case, while you're at it, maybe make `panicstr' be not a pointer
to the printf format, but rather the index into the message buffer of
the string, and have a "panicstr_end" which is the ending index.  That
way, savecore(8) can get the expanded message, not:

panic: %s: %d out of range

:-)

The current "panicstr != NULL" can be replaced with
"panicstr != panicstr_end".
