s/panic/print nasty message

Not sure what i was smoking there. Sysadmin will panic from a memory 
corruption message anyway.

What feels wrong to me is: kill a process and - in the case where 
that process is restartable or expendable - suggest to the admin 
that "everything is fine, we handled it just fine".
