Um.  That's really bad.  Assuming it's being called from the panic() I
imagine it to be (init/main.c:1636), it means the following all failed:

    execve("/sbin/init",argv_init,envp_init);
    execve("/etc/init",argv_init,envp_init);
    execve("/bin/init",argv_init,envp_init);
    execve("/bin/sh",argv_init,envp_init);

.. which they really shouldn't do. 

If this had happened on my system, I'd be running fsck(8)s right now.

As to luck, there's the old miners' proverb: Gold is where you find it.
