Ack...2.0.10 just died on me

I just had my "workstation" die running 2.0.10. Fortunately, the first
oops got logged. After it popped up on the screen, I tried to open an
editor to paste it...but when I hit j (starting to type joe) the machine
went into a loop of oops's so fast none were readable, and then
rebooted...either reset_on_panic, or softdog must have kicked in.

This was a several week old screen session.

This machine is always very short on RAM...it only has 8mb and is usually
at least 10mb into swap, and issues "couldn't get a free page" warnings
often. I don't know if that had anything to do with this or not.
