Alright.. So where do you suggest I look to try solving this?.. I was
setting waypoints in x86_32.S by printing a character and it seems to be
that code that it broke at. Since those lines reference the page table
stuff at the bottom, I'm not entirely sure where else to poke at..

I generated a diff between what I know works (on the Transmeta) and my
most recent bk pull -- the changes seem to be more applicable to SMP than
anything else...

Thanks for your help!

Carl
