Got this today on an SMP box running mysql:

The source code here is probably about a day old; the panic occurred
during a kernel build using an NFS-mounted source tree and local object
tree.  MySQL should have been basically idle, since no clients were active
or had been active recently, but no doubt it wakes up once in a while to
do something.
