I think this is caused by the FPU probe failing. It only happens when npxdna() returns 0, and npxdna() only returns 1 if the probe failed. bcopy() is sure to be called at boot time before the npx0 probe, and this might foul the probe. There must be another bug for the crash to be so long delayed. Bruce
