However, this *does* resemble the bug I'm having in real hw.
I generally get instablilities nearly always after the memory mapping and 
'wait' instruction on a 4Kc core with 2.6.15.
I'm not a MIPS expert nor have I the time to learn its internals. So, anything 
that might give me a hint is worth investigating..
