I don't think it's my patchkit - currently only has harmless things.

Not very useful.  Something double faulted, but it's not on the stack
[I wonder if the stack walker over double faults is broken. Jan - did you
ever test that after you redid the walker?]

If you can reproduce it on a Intel machine it might be possible to find
it using the last branch registers (patch for that available on request).

Otherwise binary search I guess.
