Ah yes... I decided the results here risked being unfair to the laptop
so I didn't put them in the e-mail.

On Developerbox networking survived to allow debug but on the laptop
even the network was taken out in the crash... However since network on
the laptop was hooked up via a type C combo port and the Developerbox
uses the SoC built-in ethernet it's not really apples to apples.
