Brian Hill asks about the 0807 revision of the jumbo patch #4 for DU.

I say *yes* install it but *yes* backout of the original patch set
first and reinstall it.

I admit I had a bit of trouble with this and in the end used setld to
delete the original DUPATCH that was there, and it seemed to behave
next time (by installing its own new ver).

We still get the odd kernel panic, but no where as bad as before, and it did
fix our vdump problems :)

PS: just noticed our latest crash-data, something different from the usual
    kernel memory fault:

_panic_string: 0xfffffc00005c5120 = "Processor Machine Check"

woo hoo! :)
