and Doug White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> answered on Sun, 8 May 2005:
   This is an odd one; the IA32 manual doesn't say you can take a GPF from a
   LEAVE instruction in protected mode. %ebp looks correct so I'd wonder if
   you have cooling problems or a bad processor.

Yes, odd, but maybe there is a simpler explanation: I have DDB
enabled, and the serial console may have sent a spurious break.
After nobody suggested any smart commands for db> I issued a "c"
and tadda, the system was back (albeit with the wrong time). So
this may be a red herring.

Thanks for the analysis.
