The machins crashed again in the morning:
To me it seems that a process lost its stack?

Hmh, now I missed to dump the task_struct, right?
How can I better track this bug next time?

would a memory dump of the task_struct help? How to do this?
md <what_address>?

ksymoops 2.4.2 on i686 2.4.17-xfs.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)

     -m /boot/System.map-2.4.17-xfs (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc.  ksymoops -h explains the options.
