panic in stwu ??

Hi Niels,

 It looks like a stack overflow :( This instruction is bumping
the stack and storing a value into it, and the stack pointer
is probably hitting a guard page.

 These aren't handled very well, other than dropping directly
into the debugger without any message.

 A possible workaround is to bump up the number of pages
allocated for kernel stacks. Drop this into your config file:

options 	KSTACK_MAX_PAGES=5

(the default is 4, and keep going up 'til no overflows are seen).

later,

Peter.
