:-)

Regrettably, the constituent object files of the 4.5.0 kernel that was
generating the "Oopses" are no longer available. I *do* have the
"vmlinux.gz" image, the corresponding "System.map-4.5.0", and all the
related modules if those would be of any use. With a bit of guidance, I
could probably extract the desired objects from the kernel image.
Alternatively, if there's an upload location where I could leave you the
image and map files, that might work as well.

Pending your reply, I'll see if I can figure out how to dump/extract the
requested object code from the kernel image file.
