Doesn't seem big to me. It could be shrunk a smidgeon, but
that's the version that's gotten the positive test results.
The folk who have this kind of hardware have reported this
happening for quite a few months now, and it does seem to
fill up log buffers with catastrophic-seeming stack traces.
Colin, does it fix your problem? Can you eke more than
