    77R&D/head banging on my todolist, or for anyone with thte spare time:
     8- look into answering the question [https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8376#comment:6 here] though I have no idea if I've touched something important or completely benign there..
    89- review #10259, which has a good description of the "text string as pointer" lead that I'm following in priority.

    1010- the current/best lead that I have on solving the text-string-as-pointer crash is not in 10259 , but instead it starts with [https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9528#comment:8 this comment] and further down. I'll look into it as time permits. I'll e.g. completely disable free()/delete calls throughout kernel_interface.cpp, in case the KDL is caused by a heap corruption after a double-free. Or maybe the string is copied into system structures (talking of the CD's label/name here), so I'll hack a custom version of DetermineName() that returns a sequential number (cd01, cd02) each time it's called, to determine ''which'' copy ends up in the KDL screen into the edx register..
