I use only the statically linked mprime.

I did some modification to the code so it calls show_regs() in both
cases where I get problems and also added the return so it does not
crash. The code looks like this:
---
printk("MATH ERROR: cwd = 0x%hx, swd = 0x%hx\n", cwd, swd);
switch (((~cwd) & swd & 0x3f) | (swd & 0x240)) {
case 0x000:
case 0x200:
show_regs(regs);
return;
---
Here are the results.
