| That's one really wierd looking backtrace. What else was that

Mostly I was just testing the ppa driver, so mostly "nothing."
As I said:
Wrote some files to a Zip ppa device, did sync and umount:
Then I exited xfce and saw those messages.

X and xfce (window manager) were loaded and some console windows
were open. Nothing else other than daemons.
