Is it true that only kernel drivers and modules can cause a "kernel panic"?
I mean, is it possible for an user level application to be the cause of
a "kernel panic"? If it is, which kind of operations can do that?
Thanks in advance

If this happens then by definition it's a bug in the kernel (or a
hardware failure). It's never the fault of the userspace application
that triggers the panic.
If you think you have found such a bug in the kernel, please post the
details to this list.
