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.
