>Description:
after a panic and being the kernel hanging in "syncing filesystems"
fsck truncated some symlinks that were created shortly before the
panic by a "make" in a kernel compilation directory and left
zero length symlinks behind.
>How-To-Repeat:
"cd GENERIC && make"
break into ddb and
"reboot 4"
get lucky
>Fix:
unknown.
