Well, it's not solely an SMP thing.  I finally got an opportunity to
test a non-SMP high-memory kernel tonight, and it's the exact same
failure mode as the original problem report.  Here's a full report,
complete with the Oops and a run through ksymoops.

ksymoops 2.4.1 on i686 2.4.19-2.burpr.test.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.19-2.burpr.test/ (default)
     -m /boot/System.map-2.4.19-2.burpr.test (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.
