Thanks for your help with this.
I dug it out and found it was caused by rainwater flooding a chipmunk
hole underneath the walkway.
I packed everything down, filled it with crushed stone (no cement!),
and bought some coldpatch and followed the directions on the package.
It came out pretty well, though the color of the coldpatch is a lot
darker than the walkway asphalt. Maybe it'll get lighter over time.

sprinkle some light colored sand on the coldpatch and pound the surface
with the end of a 2x or so and it will stick and give a lighter color

I tried that and the color almost matches. It blended quite well,
Thanks!
