Hi Steve,

Bogus symbols in ksymoops backtraces are rather normal, they're just
stack noise. Unlike KDB the standard backtrace which doesn't have
stack frames so it just scans the stack for addresses that look like code/
module address.  This includes empty_bad_page. The reader has to
filter the impossible cases out.

So I wouldn't worry about it,
