assuming that pc's not bogus and there isn't anything else afoot, like a broken
image (i don't think my kfs neé bzfs matches up and the version in the dist
kernel is stripped), 0x39000 is the next page after
the current pc, so unless the bss is 0 bytes, 0x39000 must be a valid page.
so one assumes there is some other reason for a fault.  either there is a bug,
or perhaps a memory allocation failure for page tables caught the kernel
out.  i would try bumping the image memory to at least 512mb.

good luck.
