Ok. In the remote debugger I got a lot more data. In fact, it
brought me to linux_alarm() in /sys/compat/linux_misc.c

First some data about the trapping thread:

td = curthread = 0xcbb89304		looks ok
kg = td->ksegrp = 0xcbb89230		looks ok

td->td_proc->p_comm = "swi6: tty:sio clock"

The LTP test that seems to be causing this is doing an alarm().

In linux_alarm() I see:

	:
	s = splsoftclock();
	old_it = td->td_proc->p_realtimer;
	:
	td->td_proc->p_realtimer = it;
	splx(s);
	:

Is the splsoftclock() acceptable locking to access td->td_proc?
