Technically, I think that would be over-reacting. "Panic" is when you 
don't know what you can do to make the situation better, so you do 
anything, on the grounds that anything might be better than nothing.


Like, you wake up, your house is on fire, flames and smoke everywhere, 
you run outside, and you realize you've taken the alarm clock with you. 
*That* is panic. :-)
