Fetch a gigabyte's worth of data for the debuginfo RPM? 

The suse 11.0 kernel debuginfo is ~120M.

Still, though, hardly worth doing client-side when it can be done 
server-side for all the common distro kernels.  For custom kernels,
not so, but there you should already have the debuginfo locally.h

and if you have the debug info local, all you need is

dmesg | scripts/markup_oops.pl vmlinux

and it nicely decodes it for you
