Nope, the machine reached a point where it cannot possibly reach, we
want the OOPS.

Really? Because if I have this in there I can actually run the long-duration stability tests for 12+ hours rather than just a few hours (it doesn't happen all the time but I've seen it at least once). But, hey, if you want to investigate the reason why we have a NULL there then go ahead. I guess I'll just have to carry this patch for as long as my machine crashes during my TDR testing.

Thanks,
Tomas
