Looks like I was wrong.  This is appears trivial to reproduce,
I have just reproduced it two more times in a row.  I think
the problem is pty related.

I was looking into a change in behavior on 2.6.31-rc6 where
data was being lost, and it appears one variant of my test program
kills the kernel.

The following program run as an unprivileged user causes a kernel
panic in about a minute:

aka

while :; do ./KernelTtyTest ; done


I'm not certain where to start digging into this beyond that.
