I see you are right, was late at night...
I've attached the file I hand wrote for the oops, which I then fed to
ksymoops. Also attached again is the output from ksymoops.

If something is inconsistent, and I need to regen the output with
ksymoops and my System.map, could someone be so kind as to suggest a
proper commandline? I used:
ksymoops -K -L -o /lib/modules/2.4.4/ -m /boot/System.map-2.4.4
< oops.txt >ksymresult.out

Reformatted for mail, originally one line. Nothing ever made it to
/var/log/ksymoops.
