I just talked to the guy who sent the log file to me. He's working with 
his contact on the customer side to see if there is a core dump from the 
last PANIC. They agreed to make adjustments so that next time there will 
be a core dump if none is found this time. They also agreed to run 
memory and disk integrity checks.

The installation was compiled with --enable-debug, and the binaries have 
not been stripped, so if I can get a core dump from them it ought to be 
usable.
