The last 5 system panic messages are saved in NVRAM with the pointers logged in a table in NVRAM. These areas did not ever get initialized. A bug in the old errdump, it tries to read the messages through uninitialized pointers if the system did not have 5 panics. Work around: Panic system five times to initialize the pointer table.
