Hi Nick,

I was just discussing the issue on #systemd and as you mention diverse
people there pointed out that it is not enough backtrace.
Serial-console or net-console was recommended to me, this requires a
2nd machine...
So let me see if I can setup n-c and get it running for a backtrace.

# grep -i frame /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep -i point
CONFIG_SCHED_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER=y
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_FRAME_POINTERS=y
# CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not set

Damn, needs a rebuild :-).
