No, but when I just reverted the patch and didn't change the TLB error handler, 
I got some other weirdness (assertion failure in some userspace program).  It 
may have been coincidental, though.

I think the last working version was a little older than that -- and it's quite 
possible that there was underlying badness even earlier that just recently got 
exposed.  I think I want to just debug it and find out what's really going on.
