A denial of service can be constructed from such printout, so this can't
stay in an release version.  Think of what

#include <signal.h>

static void si(void) { }

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        signal(SIGILL, sh);

        while(1)
                asm volatile("mfc0 $0, $0");
}

would do if each exception would result in a line in syslog.
