Correct; several people found that one. For some reason my machine is

You better check this with a CPU manual. False hazard handling may result
in either slower than necessary TLB refil handlers or in sometimes very
subtle bugs that show their ugly heads only very rarely. This is why the
code is panicing now - we want to force users to make sure things are right
by reading their manuals.
