It seems that "portsnap fetch update" is a consistent way to generate  
a panic.  I have now seen panics with all four of my SD cards on two  
different Raspberry Pis, and with three different power cables.  All  
occurred while running at low speed for SD (25MHz) on r274416.  Here  
is the latest panic:

Ian, you mentioned that you thought this looked like a memory  
corruption similar to the issues reported on Wandboard.  I have been  
reading those threads but I don't fully understand what is the issue.   
Can you clarify?  I also saw some discussion about some new changes  
currently under testing and planned for release.  Are these expected  
to resolve the memory corruption?  What is the root cause and is the  
problem present in all builds or just recent builds?
