After a few reboots trying to capture the initial panic message (even
when I set panic_on_oops=1 I was getting multiple ones with only the
tainted one staying on screen), the system managed to stay up.  I
completed a scrub and it found no errors.  I also haven't had any
issues with it but haven't attempted another reboot.  I figured the
safest course was to just leave it on for a good week so that whatever
was in the log/etc that was giving it trouble works its way out.  I'm
also doing a balance which may or may not help (and which is useful
anyway since I increased the size of the drive I replaced).

I'm still pretty skeptical of a hardware problem, but once I think the
system is able to be safely rebooted I'll go ahead and run a longer
memory test/etc.  This really doesn't seem like a memory problem, and
I don't see a corrupted binary as an issue since everything running in
kernel space is versioned and the problem happens with multiple kernel
versions (and the older ones haven't been touched on-disk in ages).  A
problem in glibc/etc shouldn't cause a kernel oops absent a bug.  But,
if there is a hardware problem I obviously want to know about it, and
I've had a few RAM failures over the years...
