Using the rhel4 2.6.9-11EL.smp kernel on x86_64, I could cause an oops
and kernel panic fairly reliably by reading a series of large files.  I
can cause an immediate oops and panic trying to use 
"-memcache -stat 3600 -dcache 3600 -daemons 5 -volumes 196 -chunksize 20
-dynroot -fakestat -afsdb -nosettime -verbose"
Traceback:
