No messages?
It must be getting past the bad point to a worse point.
A silent reboot happens from a triple-fault, usually. Can you buzz-loop
faults in assembly to blow it out?
This may not be possible if the culprit is stack corruption.
I would put in:
{
int i;
printf( "here 1\n");
for( i=0; i < 0x7fffffff; i++) /* adjust down for time*/
continue;
}
for a bunch of different "here" locations and see where it fails.
There are probably better people to ask about debugging; I usually
use printf. 8-(.
