 Hi.

 I have a reproducible kernel panic, using Haiku R1 Alpha 3 -r 41650 - IOW,
 a very recent nightly build.  I'm running it in VirtualBox 3.2.8 OSE
 r64453 with an emulated, bridged Intel Pro/1000 MT Desktop 82540EM network
 adapter.

 When it happens, I'm testing a backup engine written in CPython, using an
 unmodified /boot/common/bin/python.  This code is at
 http://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~dstromberg/backshift/

 The engine reads and writes an NFS filesystem.  Some of the directories
 are quite large.

 Running the engine's automated tests against a local filesystem (created
 by the installer) works well, despite a plethora of such tests.

 The script tracebacks on an os.fsync(), and then crashes.  If I skip the
 fsync with the equivalent of "if os.uname()[0] != 'Haiku'", it still
 crashes, but without a (Python) traceback (or rather, no Python traceback
 until I type "co" in the kernel debugger).

 Haiku enters KDL of its own volition.

 I'm very inexperienced with BeOS/Haiku, and only slightly experienced with
 VirtualBox - what's the best way to get information to you, the kernel
 developers, for such a crash?

 I'll be attaching a screenshot with the kernel traceback.

 Thanks!
