Hrm ... did you stop the card first, or just yank it? ... sometimes, I've
found that the code to check if the card is there and some sanity checks
to make sure the data is valid can fail to detect a removed card, and
thus, you'll get a panic. I'm trying to revamp the sanity checking, but in
the mean time, you can solve the problem by manually running 'cardctl
eject' before physically removing the card.
