You don't run anything.  The purpose of ksymoops was to analyze the OOPS 
message and augment addresses with symbol names; that's why it wants to 
read /proc/ksyms.  In 2.6, the kernel itself will report the correct 
symbols, so a postprocessor is not necessary.

In any case, BUG is Linux's equivalent of osi_Panic; the thing to do is to 
locate the place where it was called, and see if you can figure out what 
was going on.
