The machine in question has been up continuously (though not under heavy
load) since it was rebooted after the reported failure.  it has even
withstood additional mpd index updates, all running the same kernel it
crashed with before.

So i can't say that the problem is resolved, but i haven't replicated it
either.  Wish i had more interesting details to report.

Thanks for doing followup/triage like this.  it's an important (and too
often neglected) part of software development.

Regards,
