 This may not be easy to trigger...

 We are supposed to only allow one popup menu on a given view at a time.
 This doesn't work perfectly however and I often manage to open two menus
 in Tracker: the desktop one and the specific menu for a given icon (you
 have to be fast to do this - right click on the desktop and then on the
 icon a short time after that, but before the first menu is open).

 Usually this is harmless and only leads to the two menus opening. But
 today I went to KDL.

 {{{
 PANIC: vm_page_fault: unhandled page fault in kernel space at 0x706f78, ip
 0x80084ba2
 }}}

 The panic is in  wait_for_thread_etc, called by BPopUpMenu::_Go. It seems
 that it's trying to access invalid thread data.
