Okay, I disabled IO-APIC and Local APIC, recompiled with (an otherwise
identical) config.

Got this (slightly better) oops. Figured out how to use my camera :-)

Onto your stack-footprint metric. I don't know what the number means, but at a
guess it's the size of the stack. Unfortunately, if this is the case, it's
unlikely to be an overflow causing the crash. Here's a grep of dmesg just
before the crash.

[root] 21:39 [~] dmesg | grep new\ stack
| new stack-footprint maximum: swapper/1, 1760 bytes.
| new stack-footprint maximum: mount/471, 1716 bytes.
| new stack-footprint maximum: cupsd/2623, 1564 bytes.
| new stack-footprint maximum: kdm_greet/2845, 1528 bytes.
| new stack-footprint maximum: krootimage/2846, 1204 bytes.
| new stack-footprint maximum: konqueror/2938, 836 bytes.

The complete traces are a bit long to include here, but I've uploaded the
entire dmesg:
