No, that's the complete dump.

I build the kernel with an initramfs. In this one, I have an init script for
mounting my flash device (which contains a JFF2 filesystem based on ELDK),
and to process the "switch_root". Indeed, I used BusyBox in my initramfs and in
the ELDK filesystem.

After more investigation, with gdb, the panic occurs when the the function
"setsockopt" is called with the famous buffer (specify with -S xxMB) as a
parameter. And it's the first use of the buffer in the code.
I noticed that too : when I run tcpdump, It works, but if I run two tcpdump at
the same time, segmentation faults or illegal instructions appears.
It seems link to the usage of my memory. How can I investigate further to
identify eventuals memory timing problems?
