Come to think of it, I don't think you have this commit yet.  Robert
Noland is running -CURRENT from 4/6, and he is not seeing the panic.
So, something happened between 4/6 and 4/8 to cause this.  I'm in worse
shape than you.  The problem appears as a hard lock on my system.  I
can't even get any clue as to what's going on.

I have ruled out pulseaudio, though.  I can start pulse by itself just
fine.
