 Please be aware that _you_ might be able to repeat the problem, but
 others not.  Please, attach all possible output from the panic message,
 plus the output of nm /kernel | sort to the problem report.

 Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)

State-Changed-When: Wed Sep 20 22:21:53 MET DST 1995 
State-Changed-Why:  
o  i cannot reproduce the bug 
o  the bug report contains insufficient information about the panic 
o  the usage of the buffered device for tar operation is bogus anyway 
(errors cannot be reported synchronously) 
o  mail to the originator bounces :-(
