Yesterday I updated a rarely used PC from 2.6.32 to 2.6.33-rc4. Today
this PC panicked when I attempted to switch on NumLock on a USB
keyboard. There was X11 in the foreground. I believe I had pressed
NumLock once or twice before at a text console. Except for my dangerous
keypress, there was no other discernible activity of the system at that
moment (no active IO to disk, net, sound...).

One or two minutes before this happened, I ran a test with the
experimental firewire-net driver and had an unreliable connection over
it due to a funky hub. This caused numerous log messages from
firewire-net about missing 1394 ACKs, but I believe it did not corrupt
the kernel or something. (Also, this box had no firewire driver that
interacts with the input subsystem.) Nevertheless, I mention this
detail in case that it turns out to be difficult to reproduce the
hiinput_find_field issue.

Luckily I had netconsole active at the time, so here is the crash log.
(Extra linebreaks were apparently inserted by netconsole or the remote
syslogd.)
