The OOPS message is probably not too useful to mere humans (I
except Linus Torvalds and Alan Cox from this category).  Assuming
that the OOPS caused things to scroll off the screen, can you
scroll up with Shift+PgUp to see what came right before the OOPS?

I haven't got any good clues at the moment.  I guess you could
bring it to the Thursday meeting if that's easy.
