But MOL doesn't do anything like that. In fact, the log-file is probably
the only file which is open (unless MOL restores a session - in that
case, RAM is a mmaped file, shared between threads).

The kernel panic blurb would be useful.

Can't tell without the System.map file. It looks like
a bogus stack anyway.

func_0020dfc4
0020dfc4 lwz r0,0(r12)
0020dfc8 stw r2,20(r1) <--- hard crash
0020dfcc mtctr r0

I will install ReiserFS on my machine and give it a try.
