Okay, that is the case. After reload they appear just fine.

But the addresses in the ksymoops output are still nowhere near C5D28000
(the PC of the unkillable process). I'm making this assumtion that they
are not even _supposed_ to be, since I can find a single match or nearly
match comparing the PC's of other processes and ksymoops output. So can I
get any sense out of that PC address, or should I just apply the kernel
debugger patch and wait a couple of weeks?
