Thanks for the offer about the fiche, but as I stated before, I have all the fiche listings from V1 to V5.4-2 (last one on fiche) and many on CD since then.
Volker confirmed that for the module that is reporting the bugcheck, there have been no changes from V7.2-1H1.  I have these on CD, so I am good for the moment.  I await the actual dump file to move forward from here.  Thanks to all for the information thus far.  I will update this once I get the dump and look further.
