[ovs-dev] Null Pointer / Kernel Panic

Hello,
I'm currently hitting a null pointer dereference and kernel panic that
seems to be in ovs. The problem is sporadic. I have one production machine
that's hit it four times in the past 24hrs, and one lab machine that I
can't get to hit it at all.
We rebuilt openvswitch with debugging symbols turned on, and traced the
null pointer dereference to datapath/linux/flow.c:814 . Do you have any
advice on how to trace this back to a root cause (or, ideally, a fix) ?
I've scoured Google for related issues but come up short. (I'll happily
accept that my google-fu is lacking, though.)
I would greatly appreciate any guidance you could offer. Here's some more
information about my system, for context.
All nodes have the following versions:
