The CPU has storage internally for up to 5 levels of
trap information, this is called the trap stack. When
you take a trap at the 4th level, the cpu enters RED
state and traps to a special vector in a trap table
at a fixed pre-determined address, with TLBs and caches
disabled, to process the trap.
When that happens, what usually occurs on Sun systems
is that the cpu jumps into Sun firmware code which dumps
out the trap stack like you see here.

Can you match up these "TPC" and "TnPC" values to symbols in
the kernel running at the time of this crash?
