It is the memcpy line.  I've pasted in the panic dump at the end of the
message.  It seems to happen somewhere between 30 seconds and 5 minutes
after the system boots.  I can't find anything that makes it happen faster
or slower.  I can't seem to make it compile w/o optimizations.  All kinds
of link errors both with and without the edit mentioned by dpkg when I
installed binutils.

Any chance the 3.0.x tree would be better?
