Well, a current kernel paniced too, when the amanda backup started.
Unfortunably I forgot to set ddb.onpanic to 1, so I don't know how it
paniced (I just know thw box rebooted). I will enable ddb for the
next amanda run.

BTW, memory isn't an issue on this box. It has 1Gb RAM, there is always
at last 200-300MB free. Even the buffer cache won't eat it all, and
the backup use dump on the raw device.
